I deleted lib32-ncurses, how do I fix it?
I deleted the lib32-ncurses manually from the /usr/lib folder (I know...)
I was having issues with a compiled PHP and libncursesw.so.5
It broke Arch. So I boot from my a live cd but if I try to, mounted the partition but when trying to chroot to the root mount at /mnt I get:
/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses2.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
arch-linux system-installation

After booting from the livecd, trying copying its/usr/lib/libncurses2.so.6into the mounted/usr/lib, then seeing if that works. If it does, you probably want to reinstall the package just to be sure.

well, if you did it from outside thechrootthen it probably wont be/at the head of the path. Anyway, you can just use thepacman-rargument to install the package you need from without thechrootas well.pacman -r /path/to/chroot -S ncurses --force

You are going to need to boot from an Arch ISO somehow. After that, you can probably upgrade the kernel by following Option 2: Reinstall Kernel from the Arch Linux Wiki article, "Kernel Panics". That article includes doing a chroot to the hard disk mounted by the ISO, so you can use pacman on the latest kernel you've got in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/. Look in that same directory for a version 5 ncurses package, and update it, too, while you're at it.
