Can't update chroot / Wrong ELF class about chroagh

[drinkcat]

Sorry about that, I have a fix for this bug, but forgot to merge it in. The fix is now in the master branch, but your chroot has been damaged (it should be recoverable though).

I'm not sure why you have a i686 chroot instead of a x86_64 chroot, is it an intentional choice?

Can you double-check by posting the output of:
grep ARCH /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-[0-9]*/desc -A 1
and
file /bin/pacman /bin/wget
(both inside the chroot)

Thank You for the fast response. I was a bit vague, I have the old HP Pavillion 14 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CXFJPJC) so I remember very clearly that ChromeOS was 32 bit when I got my machine because there was some talk of Arch dropping support for i686. So the choice of i686 was not intentional.

grep: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

and

-bash: /usr/bin/file: No such file or directory

I tried updating my chroot again using your latest master branch, but get the same error. I have a backup from right after updating my chroot where libpcre is not 64 bit, and restored it. However when updating sudo pacman -Syu, the chroot updates libpcre and incurs the same problem. So I think the problem may be with the repos? Although for some reason xmobar does not work in that chroot either.
If anything I will just install a new chroot, and dump my home folder into the new one.

@airbus001: Have you tried restoring from backup, then running the new installer? That should work.

You can also manually edit /etc/pacman.conf and make sure that you have this line, replacing Auto with i686 (the newest installer will do that as well):

Architecture = i686

Then pacman -Syu should not try to replace libpcre by a 64-bit version...
