DetailsApps that used to work are stopping to work after a "pacman --sync --refresh --sysupgrade", e.g. Balsa stopped working because libtldl.so.3 was not available anymore, while it was before the upgrade. And when I do a "pacman -S libtool" I am told that I do have the latest libtool already installed, but if I tell it to go ahead and re-install it, then it re-installs the missing libtldl.so.3 and then Balsa works. It seems that the upgrades remove files that they shouldn't! I am getting this constantly.
Apps that worked yesterday, today they aren't because of my constant upgrades to Current. I think there is a undamental problem here, and that can only be fixed if you don't ask the developers to fill in the dependancies by hand, and if you have as few dependancies as possible. And also, better testing before release to Current please. |

Improving package quality is an ongoing goal, and one that is slowly improving. We've opened a "testing" repository for the potentially-broken packages, which should clear up most of these mis-haps before the packages ever hit Current.

As this isn't really a bug, per se, I'm closing it.
