NO !!

Download ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/0.8/os/i686/pac … pkg.tar.gz  then

tar xzf pacman-2.9.8-1.pkg.tar.gz -C /
rm -f /{.PKGINFO,.INSTALL,.FILELIST}

Configure it if you need to and then

pacman -Syf pacman

to register it's installation...

Re: Reinstalling Pacman

It's not Wrong, but You are asking him to recompile pacman and install it, that takes time, plus that tarball does not include configurations files so if he doesn't have a copy of /etc/pacman.conf he'll have to download that tarball to get it, So do it that way from the beginning, save ur self time and headache
