Re: [SOLVED]libpng12.so.0: cannot openshared object file

I too did a pacman -Syu and now I have libpng14 but not libpng12, so kdemod-opera and firefox wont start, among other applications dependent on the old libpng12. I tryed reinstalling both firefox, opera and cairo, to no avail.

This at 22.30 7th Feb 2010.

Re: [SOLVED]libpng12.so.0: cannot openshared object file

Probably not very arch-like, but I un-tarred the libpng12 pkg from cache and copied the libpng12.so.0.40.0 to /usr/lib, along with two appropriate links.  For me, that was quicker than debugging the AUR pkg for libpng12.  I only had one app fail, the Virtualbox binary with USB support.

My $0.02

Personally I find it easier to start with a clean system. There's less chance for confusion and dependency hell since I know what I install bit by bit. Having said that, whatever works for you, use it.

First you need to get the latest version of broadcom-wl from AUR, any of the AUR Helpers can be used to build and install it, but Yaourt is probably the easiest for you to use.

Next remove nvidia-utils and nvidia as root

# pacman -R nvidia-utils nvidia

and then try to update xorg-server, and afterwards reinstall nvidia and nvidia-utils, it's also useful to install the vesa driver or nv driver in case you have problems with the official driver.

That hasn't helped, but, anyway, thank you for your concern and time :-) Removing nvidia and nvidia-utils was impossible due to dependencies.
But I managed to solve the problem on my own; I paste here log from pacman - if anyone has such a problem, maybe he'll find the hint here: http://pastebin.ca/1790716

I have problems with tvtime.

And I can't found in the repos.
sudo pacman -S tvtime
tvtime package not found, searching for group...
error: 'tvtime': not found in sync db

Maybe in AUR?.  But I had installed from repositories.

Yes its in AUR. I think I remember someone saying recently that it was pulled from the repos. Not sure why.
