Ruined Everything [Sudo pacman -S glibc --force]

I'm new so sorry if i commit any mistake in written at forums, my last post a member call me attention from writthen in capital letter, is like i shout to someone.

So i believe i ruined my arch, because i wrote on terminal:

Sudo pacman -S glibc --force

My inttention was to update glib, so wine can work, so i believe using --force was a simple way to update it.

So nothing is opening right now, i believe if i restart the system it will not open anymore.

Any solution, i appreciate

sorry if i dont make my self clear

Re: Ruined Everything [Sudo pacman -S glibc --force]

There were numerous posts on this and even front page news with instructions. I believe you were specifically instructed NOT to use force. Try searching here for a solution, but you may have indeed borked your install.

Read the news before every update. The wiki article referenced in the news item (which explicitly told you not to use --force) has a list of topics where the issue was solved.
