error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared

After a recent upgrade, several applications started complaining "error while loading shared libraries: libltdl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory".

As far as I know, at least these programs won't work in my system:

mplayer:                   extra/mplayer 34007-1
mocp:                      extra/moc 20110528-3
display / composite /... : extra/imagemagick 6.7.2.5-1
inkscape:                  extra/inkscape 0.48.2-2
shotwell:                  community/shotwell 0.11.1-2

And my libltdl is

core/libltdl 2.4-5

Is there something important missing in my system? Thanks in advance.

Oops I was just over scared. I re-installed libltdl and everything goes fine.
