If you are getting this error:

cower: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


after upgrading your arch system, don't worry.

You will have to rebuild cower.

Download the cower package  cower-14-2 from the AUR repository.


From the command line go to where you downloaded the package, and type:

$ tar -zxvf
$ cower.tar.gz
$ cd cower
$ makepkg -sri

You will be prompted for a password as pacman needs it to install it.



done!
