qalculate

After my latest pacman -Syu, (and after fixing X) qalculate seems to be broken.  I'll just paste what I did from the command line; it should make the problem clear.

$qalculate
qalculate: error while loading shared libraries: libcln.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$su

# pacman -S libqalculate
:: libqalculate conflicts with qalculate. Remove qalculate? [Y/n]

Remove:  qalculate

Targets: libqalculate-0.8.1.2-1

Total Package Size:   1.5 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n] y

# pacman -S qalculate
:: qalculate conflicts with libqalculate. Remove libqalculate? [Y/n] y

Remove:  libqalculate

Targets: qalculate-0.7.2-1

Total Package Size:   2.4 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
removing libqalculate... done.

# exit
exit
$ qalculate
qalculate: error while loading shared libraries: libcln.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ 

So basically when it failed, I reinstalled libqalculate which was fine, then I installed qalculate itself, and it conflicted with libqalculate.  Seems like there is a problem in pacman.

Re: qalculate

These packages are orphaned. I will check them out and fix that. I might even adopt them.

You could also try qalculate-gtk or qalculate-kde. See the comments here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=1&ID=449

If you don't want to wait, get the qualculate PKGBUILD from ABS and rebuild it.  It will fix the "error while loading shared libraries: libcln.so.3".

Re: qalculate

That would be awesome.  Hate to see such a handy app be orphaned.

Re: qalculate

qalculate-gtk now replaces qalculate. If you want the text only interface, use qalc from libqalculate. I also adopted and upgraded qalculate-kde so you have the choice.

Re: qalculate

Yeah, I'm using the right distro.  Thank you!
