I've had Archlinux "Don't Panic" installed for a while. I installed it because someone on another list was having problems with their hda intel soundcard, and I wanted to see what was required to upgrade the Alsa driver on Archlinux. It seems to be a nice stable distro, pacman, which I havn't used before, installs the downloaded packages very quickly. Downloading them, as always takes a while, as I'm on dialup. Anyway. The problem since the latest updates. Qjackctl was working ok, but since updates I did last night, it now fails to start. See below for the updated packages.

[djmons@myhost ~]$ qjackctl qjackctl: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [djmons@myhost ~]$ It's true that there's no such library as libaudio.so.2, at least I can't find one. I have run pacman -Sy, and -Su this evening, and no further updates are available. Should I just wait a bit, and see if this problem is resolved, or post a bug report? Personally I don't see it as a bug, but more to do with Qjackctl being upgraded, and the upgraded version needing a library not yet available. Comments as always welcome. Nigel.
