Just a thought. If you find the excerpt in the pacman logs where you did the transaction got you into this mess, you might be able to reverse just that without risking too much for the current install and save you a complete reinstall. Ignoring dependencies is then not so bad, because you then just install the packages again that were uninstalled to get you into this.
Thanks - good idea. I've looked at the section of the pacman log, which is helpful. Most of the 32-bit stuff in the remove list was installed by the infinality install, so I should be able to get rid of it without too many problems. The annoying part is the only reason I have 32-bit support installed at all is because I've got a Brother laser printer/scanner which needs the Brother lpd drivers, which are only available in 32-bit.
I'll give it a try tomorrow - use Rsd and let it run, then see if I can get the normal freetype support back in. Hope it works...
Paul.
