[ISSUE] libalpm.so.13 apparently missing after partial upgrade/crash

My computer seemingly crashed while trying to upgrade packages using paru and also downloading a game from steam. When I rebooted the computer, GRUB was missing from the boot entries in BIOS. I managed to repair GRUB, however when I try to run paru -Syu or pacman -Syyu it gives the error "libalpm.so.13: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory."

I'm not sure how to bring that file back or where it should go. So far I've also tried reinstalling the base packages from bootstrap in a live environment mount, and that didn't change much. What else should I do?

Try pacman-static and do a full upgrade from that.

I've tried so. Both pacman and pacman-static claim "There's nothing to do" when tasked with a full system upgrade.

Huh I thought your pacman was broken. If not, then just rebuild paru.
