I chose a different route to resolve, quicker but dirtier, but I like that package-query's repository remains archlinuxfr.
# cd /usr/lib
# ln -s libalpm.so.5.0.0 libalpm.so.4
So far this is working fine, just don't forget to remove libalpm.so.4 when yaourt/package-query is updated.

This is VERY wrong.

Just, download package-query from AUR, use makepkg and install it. It would be much nicer.

Rebuilding yaourt-git and package-query-git also solves the problem for me.

Thanks for the solution !

To reiterate what's already been mentioned...

This is not a solution. Do not do this. You will invariably break something.

Just rebuild package-query-git like a sane person.

Yaourt will be rebuild when the new version of pacman come into core repo.

This worked perfectly for me. Thanks!

heya,

I've encountered the same missing libalpm.so.4 issue after an update - Pacman works, youart doesn't.

This is on Arch_64, *not* testing, my pacman.conf file contains:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

so it doesn't appear to be a misconfiguration there.

Any word on when this will be fixed in core?

Cheers,
Victor

Allan · 2010-06-22 23:17:21

It is "fixed" in [core]. It is the package on [archlinuxfr] mirror that is broken...

Encountered this, found thread on google

As of 5 minutes ago (no idea when it was fixed), there's a new build of package-query on archlinuxfr that seems to sort this
For me it was the missing .so as well

$ yaourt tcpdump

So, if I am reading this thread correctly: We have several users who use yaourt to install loads of stuff from AUR but who have no knowledge of building packages and resolving dependencies.

OT: This seems to me clear confirmation of the wisdom of the devs' decision to leave all AUR automation out of the official repositories.

Is there anything else we can do to encourage people to build yaourt "by hand" instead of downloading it from http://repo.archlinux.fr/ ?

Just to be clear...

I've built yaourt by hand.

I dont have the http://repo.archlinux.fr/ installed in my system and the problem appeared after an upgrade in pacman, not in yaourt or package-query. I didnt imagine (silly me) that rebuilding the package-query to the SAME version that was there before would resolve the problem. In this, this thread was very helpful.

Clearly document the pitfalls in the wiki. I went this path - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt#Easy_Install

I've been on Arch a whopping 6 weeks, that is the first bit of info I found searching for doc for the yaourt install procedure. I don't know if there's anything fundamentally wrong with the path I've gone. As well generally speaking when II see what looks like a package linking against something non-existent, I assume 'upgrade package'.

What would be really nice, does Arch have a tool similar to `revdep-rebuild` (Gentoo) that will scan for any binaries that are broken in such a way? Find this very handy, as I can fire it off, see what's broken (both files and what package said file belongs to), rebuild/upgrade and pray.

hi, i too have the same problem.

yaourt firefox
package-query: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

so i tried...

you don't use the right archive.

yabasta · 2010-07-18 15:40:36

lol erm...told you i was a newb. when i'd done the wget i hadn't deleted the old package-query tar or the old directory. any how, once i'd done that the process went smoothly and now yaourt works fine

655321 · 2010-07-20 01:40:13

Kernelpanic solution did it for me too THANKS

czipperz · 2016-03-19 01:32:51

What works for me is uninstalling yaourt-git and package-query-git and rebuilding and installing from source the non git versions
