Pacman cannot connect to lib

Hi,

I have runned this command: pacman -S curl

with following output:

resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (4) icu-59.1-2  libnghttp2-1.27.0-1  libpsl-0.18.0-1  curl-7.56.1-1

now, when I run any pacman command, i get following output:

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure if this will be of any importance, but here is /var/log/pacman.log:

[2018-02-03 11:43] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -S curl'

Any idea what might solve this? There seems to be many similar problems, but none solves my case.

Thank you

Re: Pacman cannot connect to lib

Did you do partial upgrades (pacman -Sy)? When was the last time you fully upgrade your system? curl 7.41 is from 2015.

Re: Pacman cannot connect to lib

2015 is about correct. This is my old pc. I need it for few weeks. pacman -Sy caused too many dependency errors. I need only working python and git...

Re: Pacman cannot connect to lib

As noted above, it will be easier to just reinstall...

Re: Pacman cannot connect to lib

Yopu can perform an ofline update (see the pacman wiki on what if pacman crashes during a update), but you *will* have to perform a complete update and you might have to intervene and resort some conflicts by hand because you missed several major changes.
This is possible, but no self-runner (likely)
