What's the output of echo $PATH ?

/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/perlbin/site:/usr/bin/perlbin/vendor:/usr/bin/perlbin/core:/opt/qt/bin

Chech you paths in /etc/profile. Does /etc/profile even exist?

I guess /usr/bin/pacman is magically disappeared then?

The_Baron · 2009-06-30 16:24:32

Both directories don't exist

Cant think of what I could have done to make it disappear

Got hacked? Or maybe your hard drive is failing. If the files are really _gone_ there is definitely something fishy going on...

Maybe is from updating the kernel? That is the last thing that pacman installed when a ran a system update.

My suggestion: burn a liveCD and repair your system.

I might just completely re-install Arch, it'll be easy and quick

There is no back way to install a package without pacman?
