xchat upgrade missing packages [solved]

Kern · 2006-07-04 23:55:39

pacman -Sy xchat :
seemed to upgrade ok.

running xchat (from console to get feedback) gives:
xchat: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

xchat fails to run

==
solved by checking dependencies on arch package page
http://archlinux.org/packages.php?id=4265

and updating, those via pacman, too.
(gtk2, openssl, tcl, gtkspell)

shouldnt just running pacman -Sy xchat have sorted this anyways ?

or am i having one of those "duuuuh " moments

pacman -Sy xchat will only install/update the latest xchat. The depends won't be upgraded (for that you need pacman -Syu ).

BTW, If you haven't done a "pacman -Syu" lately, you'll probably want to do so (read the frontpage news) especially if you installed the latest openssl. Otherewise, your older packages won't work with the newer openssl.

thx snowman.

im just starting to realise this as first sylpheed fails, and then xine. i try and avoid full upgrades til absolutely necessary.

usually im afraid i'll break something i havent time to repair just now. but your right. full upgrade is best and appears now to be very necessary.

i may be some time

-You can update nvidia only if you kill X first.

I assume you have 2.6.16.x kernel
-If you have 2.6.16.x kernel then nvidia installation will install stuff to /lib/modules/2.6.17-ARCH/ and when upgrading kernel it gives error. (It maybe could have been some other package than nvidia too, atleast nvidia put something there) I had to force kernel upgrade. Maybe kernel upgrade first and then nvidia. Not sure I did not try

I think that in those cases is fully safe to force the upgrade with a -f flag. Nothing tremendous is going to happen.

or am i having one of those "duuuuh " moments

thanks guys - yeh my brain was out to lunch.

Usually i run full update and then the Nvidias independant runfile from console later, (as the pacman one has never worked properly for me)
which i just did again, here, with success.

the -f flag proved useful with the rest, altho i never needed it before.
and the full update was a total success.

thanks again for the reminders, support very much appreciated.
