How to recover my /etc/{passwd,goup}?

Serveral weeks ago, I overwrited /etc/{passwd,goup} when I was trying build LFS.

After reboot into livecd, I copyed it from archlinux-2014.07.03-dual.iso and reinstall some package like git mysql lightdm mongodb redis. Then it add a user to /etc/passwd.

But something is still wrong.

sudo journalctl -u systemd-tmpfiles-setup --since today
....
-- Reboot --
July 30 12:39:33 rexdf-arch systemd-tmpfiles[172]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:19] Unknown user 'systemd-network'.
July 30 12:39:33 rexdf-arch systemd-tmpfiles[172]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:20] Unknown user 'systemd-network'.
July 30 12:39:33 rexdf-arch systemd-tmpfiles[172]: [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/systemd.conf:21] Unknown user 'systemd-network'.
July 30 12:39:33 rexdf-arch systemd[1]: systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

July 30 12:39:33 rexdf-arch systemd[1]: Unit systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service entered failed state.

Which package should I reinstall? I have try `pacman -S systemd`,but it doesn't work.

Or should I simply user-add a systemd-network?

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to NC...
