Hello all,
First I want to start off by expressing my satisfaction with the Arch Linux distribution. I've played with about six of them and broke them all within the first week except for this one. Very hackable and does what I want it to do without fuss. Nice job.
Now, it doesn't seem as though packages are always updated to link with newer libs. For instance, I got the new ncurses build a few days ago. Today, when I checked out snownews, it would not work because it was not linked against the new ncurses library. Of course, using the ABS PKGBUILD file to build my own from source fixed the problem but thought I would alert you all anyways. It was complaining about not being able to find libncurses.so.5. Rebuilding it linked it against the new version.
Thanks for a great distro, Robby
There are bound to be problems like that and especially with community packages. Please make a bug report on the community section of the bugtracker. Greg
