Hello,

I had a problem running Inkscape (see details below) due to libraries
not being called what the program expects. I tried upgrading the
Inkscape and relevant library packages, but no difference. In the end
I created symlinks to the files which Inkscape couldn't find and now
it works. Where do I report this problem? Do I write to the package
maintainer (Tobias Kieslich in this case, but I don't have an e-mail
address for him). (If the person concerned reads this, I've put the
details below)

Thanks,
Steve

I had the following error when trying to run Inkscape v 0.43-2:

inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.12:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I upgraded to Inkscape v 0.44-1, and still the same error, so I
searched who the library belongs to and it belongs to package gnutls
logically enough. Checked the list of files included in the latest
version of gnutls package:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/files/4104/
but  it doesn't include libgnutls.so.12, but a later one so I made a
symbolic link:
# cd /usr/lib && ln -s libgnutls.so.13 libgnutls.so.12

Trying to run Inkscape then gave the error:

inkscape: error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.2: cannot
open shared object file:
No such file or directory

Same thing, I checked if it's part of the package:
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/files/4129/
but it's not there either, so again I created a symlink to it:
# cd /usr/lib && ln -s libtasn1.so.3 libtasn1.so.2

Now inkscape works.
