Re: pacman error loading libalpm.so.6

Downloading the package from a mirror (using a browser), and manually extracting it should solve the issue. Be sure to check afterwards that the version pacman thinks it is is actually the version you have "installed".

EDIT: Be sure to back up your pacman.conf if you just overwrite everything.
