Svn : libsasl2.so.2 not found

Question

Hi,
When I try to do something with svn, I get the error below;
svn: error while loading shared libraries: libsasl2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I removed and reinstalled subversion by pacman, but the problem still remains..
Is there any idea to solve this problem?
Thank you for all spending time to read this..

Well you did a failed pacman -Syu followed by pacman -R subversion and pacman -S subversion. So that is a partial update. Of course, if that is all, it won't be a problem.
You can look in /var/log/pacman.log to see what you've done. This will also tell you if you've done partial updates e.g. using pacman -Sy <pkg> or pacman -Sy and then pacman -S <pkg>. Sounds like maybe not, though, so that will make things a bit easier.
You are going to need to read the News back to the point where you last upgraded so that you can follow the instructions required to navigate the various changes in Arch. Most recently, the changes to filesystem require manual intervention.
EDIT: Looks like qt4 replaced qt at the beginning of March (judging by the News) so your last update must have been prior to St. David's Day (1st March).
EDIT EDIT: On the basis of what you've told us, there should be no need to reinstall Arch. If you were current prior to March, there's probably one major upheaval to take care of and that's the recent move of all binaries to /usr/bin and the update to the filesystem package. But that's not a good reason to reinstall. In what way in your system a mess? I mean, is there something besides it just being out of date?
