[Solved] System broken after update

Doing an update after several weeks seems there are serious issues which results in gone quite important system parts as bash and basic commands.

As long as I have teh log still on my screen and before I'm going to reboot, this is the log:

Re: [Solved] System broken after update

Read the front page news on Arch website. Its kind of old issue with glibc.

Re: [Solved] System broken after update

Have not been able to fix it with any of the tips mentioned/linked there, had to reinstall the base system (and several other things) - but anyway, back in business :-)
