Hi all, I was about to lodge a bug regarding this, but now I'm not sure if it's something my system is doing or... Anyway, tonight I needed to RDP to a work box, and both Remmina and Vinagre both failed to run: % remmina remmina: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory % vinagre vinagre: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I wrote some scripts, and discovered the following packages are expecting this library (see http://pastebin.com/DyWw74iK for the complete output of my script): apr-util 1.3.12-3 avahi 0.6.30-6 python2 2.7.2-4 python 3.2.2-2 ruby 1.9.3_p0-2 subversion 1.6.17-7 vinagre 3.2.2-1 zsh 4.3.12-3 After seeing this, I tried svn: % svn --help svn: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Zsh works still, luckily... :) I have an entry in pacman.log that says I upgraded gdbm on: [2011-01-13 19:57] upgraded gdbm (1.8.3-7 -> 1.8.3-8) [2011-11-07 01:00] upgraded gdbm (1.8.3-8 -> 1.8.3-9) The reason I haven't lodged an FS is because I downgraded to gdbm 1.8.3-8 (from Janurary!) and it doesn't have libgdbm.so.4 either, so I'm not sure if there's something weird on my system or what. I'm confused and astonished that I haven't noticed it until tonight. "pacman -Ql gdbm" clearly states no reference to libgdbm.so.4, just libgdbm.so.3 ... Halp...
