tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot

I ran pacman update this morning which updated libevent-2.1.8-1, however, when I attempted to attach back to tmux it popped up with an error of:

tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I imagine the libevent library failed to link but I'm not sure how to reattach it or where. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, there was an error when moving the community packages which caused a small delay between core/extra and community. If your mirror synced in that time, you'll see this. Once your mirror syncs again, all will be fixed.

Thank you! I re-ran the update and it updated tmux--allowing to re-attach.

Thank you again!

Same issue with arch on armv6h
pacman upgraded nfs-utils and libevent, breaking tmux: tmux: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Uninstalled nfs-utils, tmux and libevent.
Installed tmux which installed libevent again; error persists.

[2017-06-29 00:24] [ALPM] installed tmux (2.5-1)
[2017-06-29 00:24] [ALPM] installed libevent (2.1.8-1)
[2017-06-29 00:24] [ALPM] installed nfs-utils (2.1.1-4)

Which package should be updated tmux or libevent?

Thanks!

fermi, Arch ARM is a separate distribution, please ask on their boards: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=153431

Issue is resolved. Closing.
