big mistake installing new pacman rc!! Please help [FIXED}

Hi,
I downloaded the new release caididate of pacman 3 ( http://www.archlinux.org/~dan/pacman/pa … pkg.tar.gz ).

It appears that it doesn't like Arch64. (pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64)

So, I obviously need to remove it and re-install the old pacman. Can anyone advise a course of action. Pacman is so critical a tool to Arch I'd really like to get it right.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Wain. I got the package from my cache (older version) and followed instructions here;

which is the same as your solution.

Thanks again,

Jim

For the record, the actual name of that file is:

pacman-3.0.0-rc2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Please take note of the -i686 at the end there.  That package was not built for -x86_64.

However, I think this one was:
http://archlinux.org/~ganja_guru/pacman … pkg.tar.gz

(though it appears not to be built with the new makepkg which adds the -ARCH on there)
