I looked at the Recent Updates on the Arch Main page and see

and i also see that revdep-rebuild (findbrokenpkgs) finds a lot of broken packages on my system

Checking dynamic linking consistency...

The most important thing here is, that is correct

cantor_rserver: error while loading shared libraries: libR.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

or

amarokmp3tunesharmonydaemon: error while loading shared libraries: libloudmouth-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

why are there so many broken packages? doesnt the maintainer run the findbrokenpkgs tool after they upgraded something?

Not everything is real because some stuff are optional dependencies, but a lot of stuff is also true

Re: Broken Packages

some are optionally.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: Broken Packages

Is there a way to see whose are really broken and whose are optionally
