I was moving a file to my NAS when dolphin froze. I gave it 10mins and still not response so I clicked the X to close window. This replied that dolphin was not responding and so I click the terminate application. Dolphin did not terminate. Again I waited 10mins just in case and then I tried to kill dolphin from the command line. This also did not work. So in desparation I tried a reboot but this just hanged so so I hit the power button.
PC reboots OK but when I login I get "kactivitymanagerd Closed Unexpectedly" messages pop up repeatedly every second.
I tried
a) To turn off remember in System Settings -> Workspace -> Activities -> Privacy
b) In same place to clear everything.
c) Delete the database in ~/.local/shares/kactivitymanagerd/resources
However the problem seems more wide spread. I thought I would try to reinstall kactivitymanagerd. However this fails with
error: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine
error: kactivitymanagerd: missing required signature
This happens when I try to install anything. I tried plasma-workspace and firefox. (I've also deleted my pacman cache so it downloads a fresh copy)
Firefox wont start. It failes with
XPCOMGlueload error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0: file too short
Couldnt load XPCOM
I get the same error (/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0: file too short) whilst trying to start xnviewmp. So maybe a database thing. I have no idea
But other things run fine i.e. dolphin, systemsettings, kinfocentre, kate, ark, yakuake.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Solved (Although not sure how tidy or how recommended)
It apprears my sqllite install had become corrupted - Don't know how but there you go.
I tried to use pacman to reinstall but it failed due to the
rror: GPGME error: Invalid crypto engine
error: kactivitymanagerd: missing required signature
errors. Again I surmised this was due to sqlite being screwed. pacman did however download the install file. So I told it not to delete it (it thought it was corrupted due to the above error)
I then used pacman -U <path to the downloaded file>. This failed due to file conflicts. Files already in the filesystem.
So here is where I probably did something thats not recommended. I used the --overwrite to overwrite the existing files. pacman installed sqlite OK and after a reboot all is OK. firefox starts OK. libreoffice starts OK etc.
I'll mark this as solved but not sure if what I did can be recommended.
