libxaw.so.7 missing after recent upgrade, xterm now broken

Armv7
Cubox i-4
3.14.79-3-ARCH

Dunno what is going on with livxaw dev but someone either missed a library or built using a broken system. After last night's upgrade xorg now won't launch. Tried re-installing Xorg but nothing's working. This was an issue across the Linux world about ten years ago and it seems to have come up again.

If you check the upstream package libxaw.so.7 is supposed to be there.

I've attached a screenshot of the folder contents.

EDIT: ok so apparently the image won't show up after uploading... great....

Ok so I have no idea what the solution is, I suspect it's a version number thing as libutempter seems broken as well for the same reasons...

I'm not really comfortable going in and changing file version numbers on the library's file name, so I've just ditched xterm and a few other packages. This worked:

Remove the following packages:

xorg-server-xdmx
xorg-xkbutils
libxaw
libutempter
xterm

Edit /etc/X11/init/xinitrc

Remove the following lines:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')twm &
xclock ...
xterm ...
xterm ...
exec xterm ...


Install xfce4-terminal

Add:

openbox-session

run startx

right click and open Xfce4 Terminal
