Thank Tobbi,

I've upgraded loudmouth (and glib2) and now all is fine, without the
need for symlinked libraries.

I'm trying to understand how this works.

Looking at dependencies of Inkscape I now see that it depends on
loudmouth which itself depends on gnutls. The newer version of
loudmouth doesn't "link" (if that's the right term) to
libgnutls.so.12, in fact that file isn't even part of gnutls
(according to the file list). So it was loudmouth looking for the
wrong library.

Should the installation/upgrade of Inkscape not require (and force) an
upgrade of loudmouth and consequently gnutls to ensure that all the
expected files are there? Or is there a loophole in the pacman system
which means that such dependency problems can occur?

Thanks for your help.
Steve
