Guys,
This may just be on i686, but I'm trying to figure out what happened. During update this morning, postfix refused to start. The upgrade error was:
(41/46) upgrading postfix [#######################################] 100% newaliases: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Attempting to start postfix without the &>/dev/null gave the same error (duh..)
[09:27 providence:/var/cache/pacman/pkg] # /usr/sbin/postfix start /usr/sbin/postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Looking for the file, I find it here:
[09:27 providence:/var/cache/pacman/pkg] # locate libdb-5.1.so <snip archroot dirs> /usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so
Looking for ownership -- it looks like the file is just gone:
[09:28 providence:/var/cache/pacman/pkg] # pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so error: failed to read file '/usr/lib/libdb-5.1.so': No such file or directory

OK, it looks like a missing link from db 5.2.28-1. On x86_64, I have the same thing, but postfix restarts just fine. What do we need to do to get postfix to look for libdb-5.2.so instead of libdb-5.1.so on x86?
all this output is useless without pacman -Q postfix if you don't have postfix-2.8.3-4 then is your problem. -- Ionuț
