On January i wrote a personal script to keep my package list and latest conf files on a backup-snapshot mechanism: abs4snap . Page on wiki: abs4snap for archlinux.
Today i wanted to delete some libraries from /usr/lib/ folder path!
And i did a little mistake :(
I wanted to write:
rm -f /usr/lib/libjsp*
but i wrote:
rm -f /usr/lib/lib*
Simple as that my distro (archlinux) becomes a jigsaw puzzles !
Just pieces here and there !
What the f@#$% i could do to save my distro ?
I am using archlinux, so my package manager is: pacman, but pacman uses libraries from /usr/lib folder path !
The solution was to reinstall my distro of course.
Or there is another way ?
A couple days before, i wrote a post how to build a static binary with: statifier. So i had my pacman package list and a pacman static binary file !
The solution was in front of me.
awk '{print "pacman-static -S --noconfirm " $1}' package-list | sh And with in a few minutes my distro and /usr/lib was in perfect mode again !!!
So remember:
BACKUP your data.
