kwifimanager error

hi,

after the upgrade I get the following error:
kwifimanager: error while loading shared libraries: libiw.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Does somebody know what I have to do, reinstall, ?

Thank you

Daniel

Search in your system for:

libiw.so.28

after that

cd /opt/kde/lib

and

ln -s /patch/to/libiw.so.28

[danst@laptop ~]$ sudo find / | grep libiw
/usr/lib/libiw.so
/usr/lib/libiw.so.29

so there is no 28... is this bad?

No it's not, I had the same problem. Kwifimanager app wasn't updated to the new file, so you can just copy the new back to the old filename like so:

cp /usr/lib/libiw.so.29 /usr/lib/libiw.so.28

And the program should run again.

now it's working again.
is this a kde-bug or a arch-bug?

Arch. The kdenetwork package needs to be rebuilt against the new wireless_tools version 29pre10.

If you have copied libiw, as suggested by jskier, you now have a file on your system which is not under pacman's control. You may not care about this, but I'm letting you know anyway.
