Re: problem with updating:

Yep, see https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?id=2414

The reason is libnsl and dependend packages are too new compared to the glibc.

i did what you suggested in the last comment on your post.
first i upgraded glibc.
then i did again pacman -Syu
but now i get this:

Re: problem with updating:

Yeah. It only works, when you don't need libnsl (and sadly Python needs it).

Re: problem with updating:

In theory IngorePkg = libnsl could also work, just keeping packages needing libnsl in old versions..
