“bash: /usr/bin/ls: Permission denied” Arch linux
Today I discovered that the command ls to list files, only returns the error:
bash: /usr/bin/ls: Permission denied
This happens for every directory I try and also when running the command as root. The alternative command 'dir' works without any problem.
It may be possible that the problem has started after messing around with libc symlinks last week. I've already removed them and and replaced them with the ones from my live USB stick, so this shouldn't be the problem anymore.
To which package does the ls command belong to and can it just be reinstalled using pacman?
shell ls

That would fixlsand the other coreutils tools. If you ran achmodacross the whole/usr/bin, then there are potentially other tools that also have the wrong permissions.
