Sylpheed wrong/missing dependencies?

Hi there,

Im trying to install Sylpheed, the e-Mail Reader with

sudo pacman -S sylpheed

After successfull installation with some dependencies, it prints the following error when i try to open sylpheed:

sylpheed: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ive already searched with pacman for ssl, but the only packages ive found were "openssl" (which i only could reinstall, which i did) and "ssldump", which also doesnt fix the problem after installing it :?

Which package am I missing (and so does Sylpheed dependencies), or is it something like a bug in Sylpheed?!
Hope to hear from you :oops:

Re: Sylpheed wrong/missing dependencies?

Ok, there's somthing wrong with the mentioned file, and "libcrypt.so.0.9.7" too.
I did

ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 &&
ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

and it's working!

Somehow its trying to access older files, how can u fix this? Or: can u fix this soon?   8)

try running abs and rebuilding via makepkg against openssl.

abs 
cd `find /var/abs -name sylpheed` && makepkg -f

Will try that now, because rtorrent also has this problem , and report if it works.
But: what's causing this problem?

gcc was updated and many packages had to be rebuilt. I think in this case openssl had once owned it...

This is a combination of two problems:

1) The openssl guys are sort of braindead. All binaries are linked against openssl in a way that every version change forces a rebuild. The symlink trick you used works, which means that the ABI hasn't changed and a rebuild is forced artificially.
2) (Assuming you really use the newest package) Too few people use testing. We tried to find every package that needed to be rebuilt before moving everything to current - obviously, some packages were forgotten.
