[SOLVED] Updated libarchive but not pacman

I just saw that pacman 4.0.1 hit [core] but the updated packagekit packages weren't available, so i held it back libarchive has been updated and now pacman won't run? How do I fix this?

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

boot install cd, mount your partions to /mnt, pacman -r /mnt -Syu pacman libarchive (-Rs packagekit first if you haven't)

Re: [SOLVED] Updated libarchive but not pacman

Download the latest libarchive 2 package from ARM. Unpack it and copy libarchive.so.2 into /usr/lib. Don't worry, you won't be overwriting any files with this. But you will get a working pacman. Use it to upgrade and this time don't hold any packages back. After upgrading pacman, you can delete /usr/lib/libarchive.so.2

Edit: Or do what Mr.Elendig says

Re: [SOLVED] Updated libarchive but not pacman

Thanks for the tips. I did as Gusar suggested, since it was easier and now pacman works again but I get an error

[root@andre ~]# pacman -S packagekit

I did the pacman-key --init after updating pacman.

Edit pacman.conf and uncomment SigLevel = Optional TrustAll

Ah didn't see those changes in pacman.conf. Added those changes and everything is ok! Many thanks!
