Re: Pacman problem: Illegal instruction
Try the following:
# pacman -S libarchive
# pacman -Syu
Answer "no" if you get the message:
: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] nBurninate!

Re: Pacman problem: Illegal instruction
Could it be as simple as a missing slash before sbin/ldconfig?
