[SOLVED] System broken after glibc update

I wanted to update the system today using pacman -Syu. When pacman complained about file conficts for glibc I added a -f which seems to have been a mistake after all. Pacman quitted with:

( 5/68) upgrading glibc                                            [#####################################] 100%
error: extract: not overwriting dir with file lib
error: problem occurred while upgrading glibc
call to execv failed (No such file or directory)
error: command failed to execute correctly
error: could not commit transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (transaction aborted)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

At the moment NO commads are working! Everything is still there but even a ls gives:

bash: /bin/ls: No such file or directory

The same is also true for pacman of course.
Any ideas what to do next?

To be accurate... you used -Syuf

To be very accurate I first tried without f and added it in the second try, like written above..
