Hello dear Manjaro members, as you read in the title: I deleted libxml2 with -Rdd As a result pacman is broken with sudo pacman -Syu pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I tried installing it from source, which fi…

There is pacman-static for such cases. Search for it in the arch wiki and use it to do full sync and reinstall what’s missing.

Have you another Manjaro machine? If ssh works, scp should work too. Can you copy the lost file from the working one to the other (maybe it’s a silly idea, but it’s the first thing that comes to my mind)?

I compiled libxml2 from source and it is in /usr/lib/, but I think the right symlinks are not set. I found a solution on the Garuda forums, but that didn’t work either.

What if instead you open a page for e.g. pacman-static (in pacman archwiki) and actually read it? Did you think of that? Or are you just doing things randomly, because it certainly looks like it.

If it can help you, these are the symlinks in my computer: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 may 13 16:31 libxml2.so -> libxml2.so.16 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 may 13 16:31 libxml2.so.16 -> libxml2.so.16.0.3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1297360 may 13 16:31 libxml2.so.16.0.3 Looking at timeshift backu…

I followed these instructions: Pacman Static which resulted in this It still needs bsdtar to extract nghttp2, which in turn needs libxml2 again. Thus this is not a working solution either, unfortunately. At first I tried pacman -U, did not work Tried compiling from source, which worked partial…

Well, I read The pinned comment and the PKGBUILD provides a way to directly download the binary, which can be used to reinstall pacman or to upgrade the entire system in case of partial upgrades. I added the repo to pacman.conf [pacman-static] SigLevel = Required Server = https://pkgbuild.com/~…

Hi @mielouk , See: [image] Failed to start Thermal Daemon Service System Updates I was afraid of that, but kind of expected it. It seems you’ll have to use pacman-static. These commands are for the chroot environment, unless otherwise specified. So let’s try …

I meant find the binary of the static from somewhere, like here for example https://pkgbuild.com/~morganamilo/pacman-static/x86_64/bin/

[image] abracadabra: No, you didn’t read it. Indeed I didn’t read it correctly. Sorry for the inconvenience! Thanks to @abracadabra @Arrababiski and @Teo Everything is fine now! Thanks for your patience and your help! Have a very nice day, knowing you helped me immensely!

Did something stupid, deleted libxml2
