News: filesystem upgrade - manual intervention required
2011-12-20 - Tom GundersenWhen upgrading to |filesystem-2011.12| there will be a conflict with |/etc/mtab|. Install the package as follows: |pacman -S filesystem --force| It is strongly advised to avoid the |--force| or |-f| switch as it is not safe. However, in this particular case it is needed as deleting |/etc/mtab| manually would break pacman. The reason for the conflict is that the file used to be generated at boot and hence not owned by any package. Now it is a symlink to |/proc/self/mounts| owned by |filesystem|. This change means that |initscripts| no longer requires write access to the rootfs (though other packages might).
