Re: [arch-general] dash as default shell?
Also I think some people here wrote, that they used dash as /bin/sh for years without problems. I personally also prefer dash as /bin/sh, but I dont think the pacman-trigger approach described in the wiki is a clean way of doing it. I dont know the arch packaging a lot, but I think a package which provides dash as bin/sh would be a cleaner approach.

I thought, he is not active anymore, because he is not listed as an arch linux developer. [0] I wanted to write him an email, but since I have not found his mail on the developers site, I thought he is not active anymore. Now that I looked it up again I saw the notice, that only core and extra maintainers are listed there. My bad. thank you for the explanation, now that I know the cause I will be patient.

If you have enough time, I would try using pkgfile to recover the

# update the pkgfile database
pkgfile -u

find /usr/bin -type f -exec pkgfile '{}' ';' | uniq
Good idea. But just a little correction, use `sort` or else `uniq`
will not work properly:
find /usr/bin -type f -exec pkgfile '{}' ';' | sort | uniq
or use only | sort -u instead

Do you even know what that means? If I see this right, every time
the kernel needs to do some permission check, it needs to ask are
we using LSM xyz?. In any case, it's more code and thus more room
for failure.
Not necessarily, i do not know the code of all the policy enforcement
points, but if you have a function pointer to the policy decision
function, you only have to query this function. So if you enable
SELinux, you let the pointer point to the SELinux function.
Maybe you don't understand what i mean because of my bad english, here
an example code:
int (*func)( char *arg, ... );
int SELinux_pdp( char *arg, ... ) { Code }
int pdp( char *arg, ... ) { Code }
if( SELinux ) {
func = SELinux_pdp;
} else {
func = pdp;
}
So you only have to call func( arg, ... ) and test the returned value.
Besides that, i'd prefer a smaller kernel, too.

You can try then pacman -S filesystem Good luck! Where are these files from? Are they from some AUR packages? You can check this with pacman -Qo /path/to/file Do NOT remove then. If they are from AUR packages, remove them, update filesystem and then reinstall them. You could probably try to move them to /usr/bin and then update. You need the internet to download the new filesystem package. You could download it on another system, check the signature, copy it to the broken system and then install it with pacman -U /path/to/package You should know best, how to access the internet in your network.
