I followed the article here
http://www.archlinux.org/news/the-lib-directory-becomes-a-symlink/
Didn't work for me. Then I followed an advice in the sticky thread in archlinux forum
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1136253#p1136253
and did following.
pacman -Rdd glibc
This has rendered my system useless. All of the commands are not found including pacman. I don't want to reinstall arch. Is there any way to recover ?
You have to boot your Sytem with the Arch Linux Live CD if you can't boot normally or can't do anything. I suggest you can boot but not do anything so boot from the Live CD.
You will have to mount your root mountpoint to mnt with
mount /dev/sdXXX /mnt
After that you wget the files you need from
https://www.archlinux.de/?page=Packages
Then you restore the packages by manually unpacking them by
sudo tar -xvpf !PKGNAME! -C /mnt --exclude .PKGINFO --exclude .INSTALL
(!PKGNAME! is the file name)
