Description:
Pacman thought nobody needed audit anymore and let it be removed.
Afterward:
/bin/su: error while loading shared libraries: libaudit.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There's nothing that can be done about it on a running system as far as I can tell; the only way out seems to be to pacstrap audit from the live cd.

Additional info:
I tried to remove unnecessary packages with:
pacman -Rsun $(pacman -Qdtq)

Most of them were completely uknown to me, but this definetly removed a number of packages I had explicitly installed.

Steps to reproduce:

One I'm not sure of is what order I installed the packages, or why audit was installed if it really isn't a depencency--or why su and sudo would refuse to work without it if it weren't a dependency......

1. Uninstall audit.
2. Unable to get super-user status
This task depends upon
