Pacman-Static

Precompiled and statically linked Pacman (The package manager for Arch Linux) binary for Arch Linux.

Why would you need them?

There are some reasons why you might be looking for these statically linked binaries:

• You have accidentally deleted Glibc or any other C Library implementation.
• You accidentally deleted a shared object required by the dynamic binary.
• You want to avoid the "dependency hell" paranoia.
• You want to port Pacman to a different Linux distribution.
