I think you meant util-linux, and fortunately pacman makes this
ridiculously painless to do. I tried reinstalling these packages, but
nothing has changed.

Nonetheless, I think you may well be right about the power outage
being the cause: my laptop, which I was afraid to reboot because it
was my only functioning linux graphical environment, seems to have
been unaffected (it, of course, has its own battery backup). I may be
wrong here if there is a relevant difference between the 64-bit and
32-bit packages (the laptop is 32-bit).
