Claws-mail upgrade issue with libdb

Hi,
After today's upgrade of claws-mail, I get this msg when trying to run it:

[matchil@ichi ~]$ claws-mail
claws-mail: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

the db package:

[matchil@ichi ~]$ pacman -Qi db
Nazwa          : db
Wersja         : 4.6.21-2

Any solution for this ... I realy want to check my email boxes ;P

Peace.
Dawid

This is a known bug. Just rebuild libetpan and claws-mail from abs.

Yep, there's a quickie: cp /usr/lib/libdb-4.6.so /usr/lib/libdb-4.5.so.

Somehow Claws reverted to an older db dependency.

It's not always sage to do these kinds of things, but it'll work.

You're right, that's not a good idea. The best solution is to rebuild both packages from abs.

Re: Claws-mail upgrade issue with libdb
