another software update has decided 2 break my system

I just installed devede, and it updated a few other packages on my pc,

when ever i would try to run programs from terminal, i would get an error saying it cannot find library libreadline.so.5

i tried a reboot, and no my system wont boot, because that library is needed for /bin/sh

howw do i fix this?

Thanks Markp1989

How did you do that ?

Did you fully upgrade your system first ?

pacman -Syyu

i just installed  devede and mandvd (pacman -S mandvd devede) to make a dvd, and after i installed that i started having problems running programs, so i tried a reboot.

im in the middle of making a bootable disk image, so i can reinstall bash as http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=579589 this thread suggests.
