Description:
Launching xmobar produces the following error:

$ xmobar
xmobar: error while loading shared libraries: libiw.so.29: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is because wireless_tools has replaced libiw.so.29 with libiw.so.30:

$ pacman -Ql wireless_tools | grep libiw
wireless_tools /usr/lib/libiw.so
wireless_tools /usr/lib/libiw.so.30

Creating a symlink from /usr/lib/libiw.so.29 to /usr/lib/libiw.so.30 fixes the problem, and the xmobar Wireless plugin still seems to work correctly.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Name : xmobar
Version : 0.21-2
Name : wireless_tools
Version : 30.pre9-1
