libgcrypt.so.* missing - multiple errors

Hey all,
I installed ArchLinux ARM on my newly bought RPi today. I tried to install xfce4, I got an error like so:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'l')ibgcrypt.so.20 not found: No such file or directory

I get real nervous about using the shutdown command, but if you are doing that, you want to do a "sync" first to make sure all new stuff has been written to disk that may be in a queue at that time.

When I want to turn off my Pi, I first do a "sync" and then a "poweroff" and then wait until all the lights stop flashing before turning off power.

You might want to check what version of that library your Pi thinks it has installed with

pacman -Q libgcrypt

My hunch is you shut down before all the old files were replaced with new ones, but you did not outline all the steps you followed when you said problem repeated itself.

"pacman -Ql libgcrypt" will list all the files owned by that package, I am not sure if it actually looks for what is on disk, though. There might be a more efficient way to do it, but if "pacman -R libcrypt" does not work before try to update the package, you could either have pacman remove all orphaned files, or maybe search by hand and remove the old versions.
