[SOLVED] broken system and glibc update

Question

So i tried to update today like any other day and got this error :
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
glibc: /lib exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
After reading the news i proceed to do : "sudo pacman -Syu --ignore glibc", which worked perfectly but "sudo pacman -Su" kept sending me the previous error.
The command "find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- {} +" found that no package except glibc owned files in /lib.
Then i red "you can safely remove that directory". So i did "sudo srm -r /lib". Screen went black. I realised my error, panicked and shutdown manually.
When i boot i've got now this :
error loading shared libraries libdl.so.2
(none) login :
(and a /bin/bash error i forgot to wrote down)
I'm on an ubuntu partition right now. The symlink /lib/libdl.so.2 is broken. And i'm desperate, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance
(Sorry for my bad english)
