Arch Linux: Error occurs no packages were upgraded.

Contains two error:

1. /etc/mtab exits in filesystem

2. /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exits in filesystem

General solution is to do pacman -Syu –force.

It seemed previously failure to install anything useful in openbox were due to these two errors. After I did a force upgrade, problem resolved and I can install useful tools onto openbox.
