Hi everyone, I broke a system with arch due to a storm while I was updating.
In chroot I can no longer enter, the only thing I can do is mount / root and / boot.
Can I use this to restore the casino made with the upgrade?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pacman-static
And if there is someone who tells me how to make it work, I still read again I’m not a great expert.
Cheers
I have a broken system and it doesn't start anymore

Why not? What happens when you try?
Perhaps try https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Pacman_crashes_during_an_upgrade

Do you have a backup plan ?
I use rsync to backup, very easy to make a full system backup this way.

Or the GUI version called timeshift. Either way works. Before doing any major changes, I would make up a backup, just in case.
