Description:
After some updates my pacman dies with

# pacman -S
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libnettle.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A link of the libnettle.so.6 to the libnettle.so.4 fixes the issue. A reinstall of nettle and pacman packages does not.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
# pacman -Qi pacman nettle | grep -E "^Name|^Version"
Name : pacman
Version : 4.2.1-1
Name : nettle
Version : 3.1.1-1

Steps to reproduce:
Dunno, this is the only affected system.
This task depends upon

"After some updates" doesn't tell us anything.

Partial updates are not supported. You upgrade your entire system or you upgrade nothing.
