need help plz with missing libkrb5

Today I trialled a few apps, installing, removing upgrading as I go along.

Now something has broken because when I try to do almost anything from the command line, I get a strange error:

error while loading shared libraries: libkrb5.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
error while loading shared libraries: libkrb5.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is on the command line, whenever I try to restart any daemon or do anything with Cups, SMB, NFS or whatever.

Also tried..

bash-3.2# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libkrb5.so
/usr/lib/libkrb5.so is owned by heimdal 1.2-1
bash-3.2# pacman -Ql heimdal
...
heimdal /usr/lib/libkrb5.so
heimdal /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.25
heimdal /usr/lib/libkrb5.so.25.0.0
...

So as can be see, installing heimdal would create links to so.25 not so.22.

I'm no expert at all in this field, so if some kind sole could explain and resolve for me, I'd be obliged.

Re: need help plz with missing libkrb5

I just had the same errors about an hour ago.  Last night, I updated with pacman -Syu, and I guess that's what caused the problem.  I did another pacman -Syu, and got another crapload of updates.  With the new stuff, the error is now gone.

Perhaps you should try updating with the same mirror I used: http://mirrors.easynews.com/linux/archl … /os/x86_64 .  You might get the package(s) that fix everything.
