sudo & pacman broken plus kernel panic

Hi there,

If anyone is able to help me with this I'll be in your debt forever!

I tried to install flatpak on my laptop

sudo pacman -S flatpak

It failed, then sudo & pacman stopped working

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

sudo: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

I've read everything I can find about the error but can't seem to get around it

Currently I've got an arch installation USB in the laptop, I've mounted and arch-chrooted into it but still hit the error when I try to pacman -Syu

Any ideas?
Greg

Boot into your actual ArchLinux installation and then execute -Syu through Pacman Static. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … man-static

Don't run partial updates.

The OP has not been back since shortly after posting this, so I am going to consider it abandoned and close it.
