[SOLVED] Upgrade of Nettle to version 3.5.1 brakes other programmes

Hey, I'm sitting here with a machine with fresh packages. After receiving nettle-3.5.1, other programmes won't load anmyore.

So far, SDDM, upower.service, Emacs and Qutebrowser won't load properly anymore.  Even after downgrading to a previous version will produce other errors and oditities.

Here a snippet from upower.service:

Jul 08 16:13:25 host upowerd[1218]: /usr/lib/upowerd: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file >
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=127/n/a
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: Failed to start Daemon for power management.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Service RestartSec=100ms expired, scheduling restart.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: Stopped Daemon for power management.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: upower.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Jul 08 16:13:25 host systemd[1]: Failed to start Daemon for power management.

Trying to start emacs, I get:

[1] 1283
emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[1]+  Exit 127                emacs

If I downgrade to version 3.4.1, emacs, etc. will work, but then X will fail.

What to do?  More importantly, have others being experiencing this too? 

I rebuilt nettle, but that didn't make a difference.

Perhaps some packages did not get a needed rebuild.  If that's the case, you can open a bug report for them on the arch linux tracker as it'd be a packaging issue.

But first, for each problematic package, please provide the version number you have installed as well as the ldd output for the failing binaries.

I just did an upgrade that included nettle 3.5.1-1 and have no issues with qutebrowser as the relevant qt5-webengine packages were upgraded at the same time.  I do not have upower, emacs, or SDDM so I cannot check those locally.  But based on the qutebrowser result, it sounds like you either did a partial upgrade or have a bad mirror (also resulting in a partial upgrade).

I suspect that being the case as it seems to be a bit of a mess with certain programmes not working properly under certain versions of nettle installed. I'll have a look into opening a ticket.

No.  I wrote that before I tested qutebrowser with my upgrade this morning.  You would get the same results from a partial upgrade, so please actually provide the requested information:

But first, for each problematic package, please provide the version number you have installed as well as the ldd output for the failing binaries.

EDIT: I just installed and tested emacs, it is also fine.  The problem is on your system.

Alright, Qutebrowser was working all the time, and everything else again too.

I have a locally built version of gnutls installed, that hadn't been updated yet.  Sorry about the commotion.

Thanks for your help!
