Re: ldconfig and libcurl
Do a "pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3". My guess is that nothing owns it and it should be deleted.

Re: ldconfig and libcurl
That solved it! It wasnt owned by any package. I just deleted it, and problem solved! Thanks a lot once again

Re: ldconfig and libcurl
Ok.. No, that doesnt solve it.. After removing libcurl.so.3, flash 10 rc stopped working! I had to reinstall nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flas-mozilla to get it to work again.

Re: ldconfig and libcurl
I've also noticed this. Checking out the PKGBUILD for nspluginwrapper-flashplugin-mozilla, it appears a symlink is created:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2008-08-24 20:55 libcurl.so.3 -> /opt/lib32/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4
Not sure why or how to fix it, but it must be there for a reason!

Re: ldconfig and libcurl
There is no way that should be happening. Symlinking libraries is one of the worst thing you can do to your system. Someone needs to provide a libcurl3 package in the AUR and nspluginwrapper-flashplugin-mozilla needs to depend on it.
Edit: Wow, it is even worse than that... It links the i686 /opt/lib32/usr/lib/libcurl.so.4 to /usr/lib/libcurl.so.3. That at least explains the orignal error message to me. That is incredibly bad...

Re: ldconfig and libcurl
Bump? Same problem. Happens because of the lib32-flashplugin in the archlinuxfr repo.

It was symlinked when Flash 10 was in beta. Flash wouldn't run otherwise. In fact, when installing the package pacman even echoed out a line about it. It's working without the symlink now. The package in AUR doesn't do this:
