Arch Linux

Description:

In upower 0.99.0-2, binary file for upower daemon /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
depends on two different versions of libplist.so at the same time:
libplist.so.1 and libplist.so.2

Yet libplist.so.1 is provided by libplist-1.10-1, libplist.so.2 is provided by libplist-1.11-1.
Two versions of package cannot be installed on the same system at the same time,
so this problem together with another problem (#FS39900) would lead to the crash of upowerd
on all systems and would eventually cause kde fail to start and stuck at splash screen.

upower 0.9.23-2 works fine with libplist-1.10-1 as /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
only links to libplist.so.1 in this version

I'm not sure if this is a dependency problem of upower or a wrong soname problem of libplist
But you guys are surely more professional than me on determining this.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
upower-0.99.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
Running xinit /usr/bin/startkde on a system with these versions of packages installed would
lead to a stuck on splash screen.
Running ldd /usr/lib/upower/upowerd on the buggy version package, you would get a soname
list with both libplist.so.1 and libplist.so.2, and there would always be one missing among
two of them.
