For those like me that followed the news article's instructions first and ran 
into the curl issue, I fixed this by coping the old curl package (that was just 
replaced) from /var/cache/pacman/pkg into an empty subdirectory in my home 
directory and unpacked it.  Then, as root I replaced the 
/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.2.0 library with the one found in the package.  This 
fixed pacman, allowing me to downgrade curl properly with "pacman -U".

The rest can then be done as described on the wiki page.
