[ SOLVED ] Pacman stopped working after last pacman -S pacman

Hi.

Today I tried to install a new package, and pacman prompted that there is new version of it, and I have to install it first. I accepted and installed the new version of pacman. They I updated the package list. After a while I had to reboot the machine, because my X crashed, and now pacman command is not doing anything. What can I do.

[gruntz@tangra log]$ tail pacman.log

What does "file /usr/bin/pacman" give?

Re: [ SOLVED ] Pacman stopped working after last pacman -S pacman

[gruntz@tangra ~]$ file /usr/bin/pacman
/usr/bin/pacman: empty
[gruntz@tangra ~]$

What have I done!

It is the same with makepkg

[gruntz@tangra ~]$ file /usr/bin/makepkg
/usr/bin/makepkg: empty
[gruntz@tangra ~]$

I copied the pacman-3.3.1-1 files by hand and it is working now. The pacman-3.3.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz`s file size was 0

Thank you, Allan
