Use --overwrite '*' instead with latest pacman.

Just to make it easy to copy

pacman -Syyu $(pacman -Qnq) --overwrite '*'

In case pacman not working in chroot, its also possible to use the --sysroot option with the above command, from live ISO. This, plus disabing signature checking allowed my arch install to come back from the dead.

IE:
pacman --sysroot /mnt -Syyu $(pacman --sysroot /mnt -Qnq) --overwrite '*'

Sorry it took so long. I wrote this back when —force was still an option (a long time ago). I just noticed the comments 😃. Thanks everybody.
