Description:
After updating to upower 0.99.1-2, gnome-shell crashes on start, leaving me with the "Oh no, something has gone wrong" screen. journalctl shows the following error:

Okt 25 12:12:29 arch gnome-session[1326]: /usr/bin/gnome-shell: error while loading shared libraries: libupower-glib.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Okt 25 12:12:29 arch gnome-session[1326]: gnome-session[1326]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' exited with code 127

Downgrading to upower 0.99.0-3 fixes the problem


Steps to reproduce:
1) update to upower 0.99.1-2
2) reboot
This task depends upon

Your problem is not with gnome-shell as it doesn't link to upower. Is your entire system up to date? Do you have anything from the AUR/ABS?

I'm aware of that, I'm filing the bug against upower which clearly seems to be the problem.I have "mutter" from ABS.

The problem isn't with upower. It's with whatever you have that links to upower that wasn't rebuilt for the soname bump. You'll notice mutter was rebuilt for this reason: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/mutter&id=d62f448ccbca9838b23f40302ba84a4d0bfbb1bf . If you didn't rebuild your local copy, that's the problem.

You are right, I reinstalled "mutter" from the repository and now I can fully update the system without upower causing problems. Guess this bug report is invalid then... Thanks
