[arch-general] ? regarding latest Dont Panic updates, and KDE4

[richard terry]

Just upgraded an arch box I've not done any upgrades on for over 12/12 (didn't 
even had /etc/pacman.d/ directories, not sure when they changed.

Had one problem - gcc-libs had to be manually upgraded, because x wouldn't 
start and was missing a file I think called libgcc_s.so.1.

However after that everything seems to work fine, though unfamiliar format cf 
kde3.5

Regards
