I uninstalled libarchive..

I was being foolish and I uninstalled libarchive, now I can't use pacman, even to reinstall it. The error I get is

pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libarchive.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can i get it back?

Thanks

use pacman.static to reinstall it:
# pacman.static -S libarchive

Hi quaaack,

download the package manually from a mirror, extract it and copy the data files to /.
