[Solved] Eolie- libnettle.so.6: cannot open shared object file.

Hi, I just installed the Epiphany and Eolie browser to browse sites like YouTube, Soundcloud and so on.
But when I click on a YouTube video, Eolie crashes with:

GStreamer-WARNING **: 03:49:06.821: Failed to load plugin '/usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstlibav.so': libnettle.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the package libnettle installed. How can I fix the problem? The same also goes with Epiphany browser.

libnettle is at .so.7 in the nettle package. Your system is not fully up to date (pacman -Syu).

Wow! Thank you very much. Although I update my system once a week (and the community-testing enabled), after an upgrade, I am able to watch YouTube videos without those warnings and errors!

You did a partial upgrade when you installed epiphany and eolie. It is a good idea to update your system before installing a new package.

...(and the community-testing enabled)...

That should imply that testing is enabled as well if that isn't the case you shouldn't use community-testing either. Enable both or none.
