The only alternative to this is making sure that updated versions of all apps are made available as soon as the new library is used by any of them, and this is clearly impossible.
I'm pretty sure that at the moment a system update or even complete fresh install including texlive, emacs and gnuplot will have the latter two not working. The most recent versions (as of writing) require different libraries.
So, apparently there is no solution.
Hi Fons Actually, that's exactly how it was: http://www.archlinux.org/news/482/ Everything was hunted down and rebuilt in testing, before being moved to the repos wholesale. That then results in a huge update for some people, so partial updates would definitely break your system. Hence, -Syu and making sure it completes. -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD
