[SOLVED] chromium not launching - missing library

Chromium stopped launching after an upgrade.
lddtree shows that "libmbedcrypto.so.6 => None" is missing.
How can I fix it ?

Thank u for r time..

PS: Celluloid and MPV are suffering the same fate because of 'libmbedcrypto.so.6'

You either ran a partial update or use an unsynced mirror?
But mpv doesn't link libmbedcrypto.so (?) so there's probably more packages out of sync?

Thanks for r reply
Followed this howto https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mirrors and refreshed my mirrorlist. Then ran pacman -Syyu and got no new upgrade.
From those steps, I am assuming I did not run a partial update or used an unsynced mirror. Since I am newbie I am very much unsure.
As far as mpv, it seems to be linking the missing library.
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libmbedcrypto.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … 4/mbedtls/

Provides libmbedcrypto.so.7, so something is definately out of date on your system

Neither mpv nor chromium pull in mbedtls, so this is not your problem

Re: [SOLVED] chromium not launching - missing library

If you have replaced an official package with an unsupported version, it's your job to rebuild it every time any of its dependencies updates its soversion.
