I had a fun time fixing that by scp'ing a staically linked busybox over using another system, decompressing the old package with that, using machinectl shell to gain root access, and then running pacman with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where I decompressed the package to restore it. But then, I didn't even have to reboot!

Note to self (and others): keep a statically linked suid root copy of busybox handy.

Nice one! +1 I got unlucky as well but as it's just my old, not-so-important notebook and I had the archiso USB key within arm's reach, I simply pulled the plug. Perfect opportunity to plug this old DynDNS host of mine: http://allan.broke-it.net SCNR ;-) --byte
