After that many errors, why did you try rebooting without fixing things

(Do not do a year's worth of updates in one go like that, it's not
tested and might break. It is preferred instead to do incremental
updates via https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Linux_Archive in
e.g. monthly increments, but if you insist on doing the whole thing in
one shot then at least use the latest version of pacman via my
pacman-static binaries, or the install media + pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syu)
Thank you Eli,
Well, to be honest, I knew pacman had been updated and I thought rebooting
would fix it :) -- Oh well, maybe not....
pacman is fully updated now, right? So if I take that list and go back and
try re-running the hooks -- that may be one way to fix it? Worse come to
worse, I'll just wipe /root and reinstall...
I had the same problem too (but I did not reboot). I just reinstalled all
packages using this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks#Reinstalling_all_packages
I did it on all my servers without problems.
