Subversion doesn't work after upgrade

When I try to do svn update I get:

svn: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

:S

I really need this package and it seems it's broken or is just me? This was after a lot of updates today.

Maybe your mirror hasn't synced fully yet:  http://www.archlinux.org/news/299/

Re: Subversion doesn't work after upgrade

I don't think the problem with subversion is a mirror problem. I have the exact same problem and i noticed that the version in the main repository (the one u can browse in the main site) is 1.4.3-2 which is the one i have installed and is giving me the same problem karmapolice is having.

I guess i can rebuild it using abs, but it would be nice if this problem is solved by putting subversion-1.4.3-3 in the repository so everybody can download it instead of compiling it. This way we can all enjoy this binary based distribution

Re: Subversion doesn't work after upgrade

The subversion 1.4.3-2 package is built against libdb-4.5.so, which is provided by the db 4.5.20-1 package. If you don't have both of these packages installed, subversion won't work. Both packages were uploaded to the master server on March 18th, and if they are not available on your preferred mirror by now, you should move to another one, and preferably  inform the out-of-date mirror's admins that they have a problem.

At the risk of stating the obvious, please execute pacman -Syu to ensure that your system is completely up to date, using the most appropriate mirror for your location. Subversion does not need to be rebuilt, because it has already been rebuilt.
