[solved] Language input is limited to English after upgrade

Question

After the last upgrade of my system, my Malayalam language Keyboard is not functioning. No problem with Malayalam display though.
OS: Arch linux, Desktop environment: KDEmod 4.3.2
I checked System settings > Regional and Language > Keyboard layout. Here is the error message displayed:
Cannot load library /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_keyboard_layout.so: (libxklavier.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
    Possible reasons:
    An error occured during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
    You have old third party modules lying around
    Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.
Now the problem is that, as my /var partition was filled, I had cleared the pacman cache yesterday and so downgrade is not possible.
Also, Country Flag is not visible anymore.
UDev uevent takes more time during booting. Padlock not detected.  (Don't know the implications of these two)

Answer 1

Found a work around from Chakra project forum. View Topic
user Alejandro Nova gave the reply. Copy pasting it here:
The quick and dirty:
# ln -s /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.15 /usr/lib/libxklavier.so.12
works wonders here.
