[ArchBang] libpng upgrade > nearly no GUI SW working anymore

boomshalek · 2012-02-05 17:55:47

Hi,

Yesterday I installed 2011-11 ArchBang on my Laptop. Today I upgraded the system with pacman. I upgraded again 4 hours ago, since then I have a lot of libpng14.so errors due to the latest upgrade as announced on the Archlinux landing page.

With "a lot" i mean that nearly no GUI SW is working anymore except for xorg. I.e. Chromium, Firefox, Tint2, are all broken.

"pacman -Q | grep cairo" gives just 3 packages which have just been upgraded. I re-installed libsrvg, but nothing works.

I cannot downgrade to the previous libpng version since i run into a dependency chain of probably 20 packages.

Is there anyone with similar problems ?

is important to know what pacman -Qs cairo returns and not the number of them
