libreoffice 3.4.1-2 still has this problem.

congrats, your workaround just broke gnome.

next time just use pacman -Syu package

Hmm... That's interesting... How come installing "db" breaks gnome?! It's probably a separate issue.

But if you solved your "breaking gnome" with -Syu then it's probably because you had some out-of-date package that got updated with it, not related to this bug, which got solved by the update then.
