Maybe the library is corrupt, you can try re-installing it by reinstalling pacman: `pacman -S pacman`.

Try running under a debugger, like strace, to see where the binary is trying to find the libalpm.so.7 file. Then you'll know where, in what directory, the file is missing.

Heh, you're probably right. 
@ts if you indeed cannot run pacman, you can extract the library manually:
cd /
tar xf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/pacman-4.0.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz usr/lib/libalpm.so.7Last edited by Spider.007 (2012-03-17 12:23:30)
