broken pacman: shares library libassuan.so.0 is missing
I did a workaround and copied the library in /usr/local/lib + used ldconfig to load it for pacman.
This worked, but while I tried to downgrade to libassuan-2.5.7-2 I get a dependency issue: :: installing libassuan (2.5.7-2) breaks dependency 'libassuan.so=9-64' required by gnupg
edit: downgrading gnupg to 2.4.5-3 resolved the downgrading issue.
edit2: downgrading gnupg is not recommended, you might check dependencies before doing that.
This is not a issue with the Arch Linux repositories in this case, please report to the ALHP if you're having an issue with their repo instead of filling our bugtracker with issues we can not solve
Good question, I have verified that this is not an issue with the testing repositories and without them, so maybe you have some weird setup which you need to fix. You could for example post in the forums or on IRC to get your issue solved
In any case this is not an issue with the packagaing of either as far as I understand it
pacman: error while loading shared libraries: libassuan.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Good first hints are the outputs of lddtree /usr/bin/pacman | grep ass and pacman -Qqo /usr/bin/pacman
This happen to me too on Arch, with NO testing repo(s) enabled. libassuan breaks pacman here. I have pacman-static installed so I just downgraded to 2.5.7-2. I am going to try upgrading and rebooting. btw the "Refreshing PackageKit..." step times out giving:
