I can reinstall the system any time, but I can learn more when trying to

You are right, only files in /bin, /sbin and /usr/sbin should be gone.
Everything should be in /usr/bin after the update.

struggling to upgrade a VERY old Arch Linux.
Warning: this is only for experienced users. Beginners do the backups

Before proceeding, be sure to have several ssh sessions, logged as root.

I think you should boot with an Arch Installer, then chroot and try to fix
your system removing the package that has files on those directories,
following the steps on the Arch news about this issue. An then update
