[SOLVED] Krita and darktable: OpenEXR libraries not found

Recently I installed (with pacman) the popular tools Krita and darktable, but I found that neither of them can run.

When I executed Krita in terminal, I received this error message:

/bin/krita: error while loading shared libraries: libHalf.so.24: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

When I did the same with darktable, I received this:

/usr/bin/darktable: error while loading shared libraries: libImath-2_3.so.24: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After some research, I found that libHalf.so.24 and libImath-2_3.so.24 are libraries from OpenEXR. I made sure I had the most current version of OpenEXR installed, then I deleted and reinstalled both Krita and darktable. The same error messages appeared. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the arch linux forums MovieNight.  What is the output of the following

pacman -Q ilmbase krita darktable
pacman -Qkk ilmbase krita darktable

ilmbase

Oops! I forgot to update that when I updated OpenEXR! My bad, I knew I was forgetting something stupid.
Thanks for reminding me, I would've been stuck on this for forever.

... Why are you doing partial upgrades? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … nsupported

It hasn't been an issue for me in the past. Now that I know, I won't do it.
