libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 0 bytes big

I have a problem, im trying to run an npm script that needs /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 , but its 0 bytes big and so i get the error "file too short", does anyone know how i get this to work again?

Im running Gnome and i have installed all updates except one but thats related to my mouse and the bluetooth connector for it, so it should be unrelated.

Thank you very much

Partial updates are unsupported.

Thank you very much, i have run pacman -Syu already, which that suggests i should do to fix this, but that didnt help.

The script im running was also just installed, so i dont think i have to rebuild it, which is the other thing it suggested, are you 100% certain that it is the issue of a partial upgrade? Could it also be a problem of electron? (The script im trying to run)

What is the output of the following

$ pacman -Qkk gtk2
$ pacman -Qi gtk2

Use pacman -Qkk to check the state of gtk2, and reinstall it if necessary.

The partial update is most likely unrelated, yes, but it still probably isn't a good idea.

Regardless, zero-byte files are not a good thing, and imply that at some point your computer crashed during a pacman update and corrupted all the packages you were installing at that time.
You will need to check all your packages, via either pacman -Qkk or via paccheck (from pacutils) to figure out which packages are borked, then reinstall them.
Chances are it was more than one package.
