[solved] Mythtv Can't Load libvpx.so.3

The latest upgrade seems to have broken MythTV. When I start mythbackend I get:

root@mythtv pkg]# mythbackend --help
mythbackend: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[root@mythtv pkg]# locate libvpx.so.3
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.3
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.3.0
/usr/lib/libvpx.so.3.0.0

Trying to downgrade to the previous version of libvpx:

[root@mythtv pkg]# pacman -U libvpx-1.5.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages...
warning: downgrading package libvpx (1.6.0-2 => 1.5.0-4)
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: ffmpeg: installing libvpx (1.5.0-4) breaks dependency 'libvpx.so=4-64'
:: ffmpeg0.10: installing libvpx (1.5.0-4) breaks dependency 'libvpx.so=4-64'
:: ffmpeg2.8: installing libvpx (1.5.0-4) breaks dependency 'libvpx.so=4-64'

Anyone else had this problem?

Does it need to be recompiled against the new version?

The package in the repo was. Sounds like a partial update situation.

Marking as solved. The problem was caused by my pinning my MythTV version at 0.27. I am having problems with Recording Groups not being upgraded correctly from 0.27 to 0.28. However, this is a MythTV not an Arch problem. Upgrading to the latest 0.28 fixed the error with libvpx.so.3. Now to try and fix the Recording Groups problem!
