I have restored a Timeshift image, and now get this error message right after boot:
sbin/init/: error while loading libzstd.so.1
Then get a message about “Kernel Panic mode”.
I have booted from a live USB (manjaro) and restorig another Timeshift image, including the Timeshift image backup I had made JUST BEFORE the problematic restore. The same error remains every time.
If I run manjaro-chroot -a, as mentionned in other topics to fix boot issues, I get:
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdc1
I believe this error is FINE since this corresponds to the bootable USB I am using to run manjaro-chroot/debug.
It also shows:
Mounting (Manjaro Linux) [/dev/sda2]
--> mount: [/mnt]
--> mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]
--> mount: [/mnt/home]
Then following this wiki, I cannot seem to even run grub-install:
[manjaro /]# grub-install
grub-install: error while loading shared libraries: lipthread.so.0: cannot open shared object: no such file or directory
Similarly, if I try to run:
[manjaro /]# pacman -Syu grub
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libzstd.so./: no such file or directory
Any ideas?
System info:
Please note the system info was obtained not from the broken system, but from the bootable usb. Running the command with manjaro-chroot -a on the borken system yields an error (missing libs).

EDIT:
Seems I have issues with the manjaro install, because still with manjaro-chroot:
[manjaro /]# pacman --help:
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libzstd.so./: no such file or directory
Say if I try python:
[manjaro /]# python
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libpython3.9.so.1.0.so./: no such file or directory
EDIT #2:
Seems that for whatever reasons, the symlinks for a bunch of libs are wrong under /usr/lib/, which leads to them not being found by system binaries (pacman, grep, etc.) that needs them. For instances:
ls -la /usr/lib | grep libz.so
libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.11
libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.11
libz.so.1.2.12
E.g. symlinks points to 1.2.11, but 1.2.12 is actually available. If I fix that symlink, the errors changes (to another symlink that isn’t up to date). So it appears I could recover pacman (and potentially whatever missing link prevents me from booting) by fixing the symlinks. Will update here.
