Goof-ball over here trying to type too fast just removed /lib/* from
my QNX 6.2NC box, yes I was root.
What’s the best way to recover what was in there?

TIA
Kevin

Try this first:

pkgctl -r /lib

if it not work, try this:

rm -rf /var/pkg/spill/x86/lib

slay -fQsSIGKILL fs-pkg; /pkgs/base/qnx/os/core-2.1.3/x86/sbin/fs-pkg

instead of slay fs-pkg, you can just reboot.
