[09/09/06 23:50] starting full system upgrade
I had rebooted prior to running the pacman -Syu and everything was fine. I rebooted after the updates and was presented with a console login instead of a KDE login. I tried startx at the console login and was presented with errors about my ~/.xinitrc . I found exec startkde commented out and replaced with exec wmaker. I never installed wmaker or gnome or anything else, only KDE. I made the change and tried startx again. I got another error that /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 could not be found. I created a softlink in /usr/lib from libexpat.so to libexpart.so.0 . I attemped another startx and finally was presented with my KDE desktop. The fonts seem a little different, but I am not sure if this is me thinking something is wrong or if there is a font problem. They seem smaller and thinner to me. Everytime I perform a pacman -Syu I do received this error:
fontconfig: local (2.3.95-1) appears to be newer than repo (current/2.3.2-7)
I think I added that fontconfig package a few months ago to prevent another problem but I do not recall. I receive no font loading problems in my Xorg.log file or when it starts. Anyone else?

[ronald@linux-pressh ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0
/usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 is owned by expat 1.95.8-2
You do not have to create the link to libexpat, you need to install expat if you have not done so, or reinstall if you have done so (in that case the package seems te got corrupted)
About the fontconfig message, is not an error, just a message. If you want do downgrade to the repo version, you have to manually do: pacman -S fontconfig

Update to the fontconfig version in current, or rebuild your custom version with expat 2.0. We don't support self-compiled versions which don't track .so bumps in base system packages.
