[SOLVED]Could any one give me a list of your /etc?
I was using 'mc' to delete a file, but after that, accidentally I deleted something [i didn't even see what it was]
Thank you

The contents of /etc depends on what you have installed. Another user posting that up would not help you in the least.
Lacking backups (if you had some you probably would not have posted this) you could try re-installing all packages (or all packages which have files in /etc as shown by pacman -Ql). From how you've described the user error, its probably only one file, though?

sudo pacman -S `pacman -Ql|grep etc|cut -f1 -d ' '|sort -u`; # to install all packages with /etc in it.Offline

...would pick up a lot of false positives (fetch, netconsole, getcap, setcap, etc).
pacman -Ql | awk '$2 ~ /^\/etc/ { p[$1]++ } END { for (a in p) print a }'
But don't use that either... Better to use pacman -Qkq (as root to avoid false positives on read denied) to figure out what package is missing files in /etc.

The master speaks 
. I had no idea that was even an option.

I didn't know about that either. Just emailed it to myself for later review. Thanks.
