[SOLVED] Kwin refusing to launch after recent upgrade to KDE 4.13.1

Hi,

I upgraded from 4.13 to 4.13.1 and I have this problem:

➜  ~  kwin
kwin: error while loading shared libraries: libkactivities.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I fix this? I cannot see desktop, all I can do is to run ALT+F2 and run konsole...

Re: [SOLVED] Kwin refusing to launch after recent upgrade to KDE 4.13.1

...so I managed to fix it:

installed kactvities-4.13.0, removing kactivities4-4.13.1

why they conflicts themself?

In the first package there's the file kactivities.so.6 needed by kwin, in the second there's only one executable file...

That's not the right way to fix it. libkactivities.so.6 is now in libkactivities4, which should have been installed as a dependency of kdebase-runtime. Make sure your system is fully up to date.

You're right. Pacman screwed my configuration. Now it's fixed! Thank you in advance :-)
