pc stopped when UPS failed,archlinux is corrupted,crashes,hw2 recover?

3 days back,my UPS battery went dead and during a power cut(which is common in India!)  computer stopped with archlinux working

now after a reboot and fdisk -fvy /dev/sdb9 from another distro(debian),the file system is fixed,but lending most archlinux packages useless and unstable

Now,How can I reinstall all packages which IS installed?Is there any option in pacman to allow the same?

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 99#p326499
That post describes how to reinstall ALL packages except the ones built manually with makepkg. Those would break pacman -S and are therefor excluded.

You might want to use pacman -Sf to force the reinstallation. Edit, nope, not necessary.

GL!
