Hi!
I was updating my Manjaro system this week … and I made a mistake !
The pacman update system told me (pacman -Syyu ) that there was a problem with pipeware-alsa. I tried to remove it … impossible because I had to remove Pacman package to do so!! … .ok … I tried to update pipeware-alsa … and here’s the mistake I did!!! Pacman is now BROKEN!
*# pacman -Syy * pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypto.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
So , I have lost the use of pacman in my system… .which is a major problem!
Someone has an idea? how could I repair Pacman without the use of pacman?
Go here with a web browser of your choice — it’s one of the two Belgian mirrors for Manjaro — and download the package openssl-3.0.7-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst. Unpack it somewhere in your home directory.
The file libcrypto.so.3 is among the files in that package. Move it to /usr/lib64, chown it to root:root and give it 755 permissions. Come to think of it, if it’s not the only file you’re missing, check for the presence of the others too.
this forum is amazing!!! it did the trick! Thanks a lot! you saved me a lot time finding the solution by myself! “Go here with a web browser of your choice — it’s one of the two Belgian mirrors for Manjaro — and download the package openssl-3.0.7-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst .

Pacman is now working fine!
At the beginning of the system udpate , I had a file conflict between pipewire-alsa and pulseaudio-alsa … so I removed pulseaudio-alsa … .and the update seems to go just fine!
