Hi! I think the problem is known for everyone, if a user upgrades a package (without -Su), he can easily get "error while loading shared libraries". The most perfect (but maybe overkill) solution is Florian's one: http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2009-August/009158.html (that patch needs some work on optdepends side, but that is not so complicated.) I mention a simpler one: Add a new switch to upgrade reversedeps too (recursively), ie. "pacman -S --reversedeps libjpeg" would upgrade all packages depend on (the local) libjpeg. This should be straightforward to implement and imho this is a bit more sophisticated than the "pacman -Syu libjpeg" request (see bugs.archlinux.org :-P). Opinions? Bye
