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
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.
Thank heads

thank
Follow Hoas advise, that should work.
I think I solved it by reinstalling bash
For the record that exists in filesystem error is also covered in the ArchWiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#"Failed_to_commit_transaction_(conflicting_files)"_error
Or the GUI version called timeshift. Either way works. Before doing any major changes, I would make up a backup, just in case.

Yep, pretty good at breaking stuff on my side !
Oh I do break things a plenty @s7l, and do try to solve the issue. But, there are occasions where use of system to get something done sometimes out way of puzzling a screw-up.
