pacman: error shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8 [SOLVED]

After trying to downgrade openssl from latest to 0.9.8 I had to downgrade libfetch and libarchive because they needed the latest version of
openssl. I started with downgrading libarchive by doing:

sudo pacman -U libarchive-2.8.0.1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

After that I tried downgrading libfetch with

sudo pacman -U libfetch-2.30-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I got the following error:

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Whatever pacman parameters I use I get that error.

LDD output:

edit:

This solved the problem.

cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s libcrypto.so.1.0.0 libcrypto.so.0.9.8
sudo pacman -Syu
