Screwed myself over (dbus)

I recently was upgrading my system and after downloading 800Mb of new software pacman quit because of dependency conflicts. Annoyed, I foolishly told it to force the upgrade. My bad.

Now /etc/rc.d/dbus is missing as well as libdbus.1.so.3 which hal and x.org are clamoring for. I probably have a few more problems.

I can get online, but the dbus package is 1.2.4 and this does not give me the correct libdbus version.

The one consolation is the fact that I have not gotten myself stuck in the slats of a wooden chair. Nonetheless, help please.

Re: Screwed myself over (dbus)

The package you need is dbus-core

 pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3
/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 is owned by dbus-core 1.2.4-1

Re: Screwed myself over (dbus)

libdbus.1.so.3 is a part of dbus-core package.

(I was 3rd :-( FAIL)

Alright, that solved the dbus problem....and X is dead. I'll fiddle with it more before I make a new thread. Thanks again.
