So I hit pacman -Syu on eeepc and it first asked to install the new pacman version. I went ahead and then with the new pacman I had a problem. It would just not run as a shared library was missing. I was stuck. One way was to reinstall the thing again, I hate this.

Another solution: boot up the Arch install disk - which contains a working version of pacman - and reinstall the old pacman version back onto your hard disk. HTH, DR
