Mate System Monitor - systemd dependency

It looks like Mate System Monitor now has a dependency on systemd that gets not flagged or resolved:

Code: [Select]
[stephan@Bazil ~]$ mate-system-monitor 
mate-system-monitor: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This applies to mate-system-monitor 1.28.1-3, version 1.28.1-1 works just fine. Not sure what to do except holding back this package. Also, just reading about some tool wanting systemd on Artix made an ice-cold shiver run down my spine.  :o

I have a suspicion that you got your package from Arch and not Artix. Our build server isn't even able to build against libsystemd.so. It doesn't have access to it.

Artix builds the package with the --disable-systemd option, so as corysanin said, you most likely installed the package from the Arch repositories. Also, I tested this package and as you can see, everything is fine:

Artix repositories should always be located ABOVE the Arch repositories in your /etc/pacman.conf.

I removed it again and reinstalled it, this time it worked. I do have a few Arch repositories on, but the package in both cases allegedly came from the Artix Extra [mate-extra] repository. The wrong package was part of a regular pacman -Syu update. Weird.

I any case, thank you for the pointer in the right direction, problem solved.

Artix doesn't have an 'extra' repo, that is an arch repo.  :)
