error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.26


I tried opening Gimp, got that message, I tried opening gwenview, I got that message, I tried opening geeqie, I got that message.

message:
Code:
$ gimp
gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
userx@SlackOLatern.net:~
$ gwenview
gwenview: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
userx@SlackOLatern.net:~
$ geeqie
geeqie: error while loading shared libraries: libexiv2.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
so I searched for libexiv and the only palce I found it was in my Downloads.
Code:
$ locate libexiv
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/msvc/libexiv2
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/msvc/libexiv2/build_libeay32.bat
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/msvc/libexiv2/libeay32.vcproj
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/msvc/libexiv2/libexiv2.vcproj
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/libexiv2.la
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.a
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.la
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.lai
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.so
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.so.26
/home/userx/Downloads/exiv2-trunk/src/.libs/libexiv2.so.26.0.0
that was something I was playing with, then when I did an update, upgrade-all the other day t came up dups in packages, what do you want to delete, blacklist etc, I deleted both of them, because I didn't want them anymore.

now that I am seeing this issue, what to do to fix it. clean system and reinstall all of my 3rd party apps again. or is there a easier way?

mod:
is that even a install on Slack? so just do a reinstall that? ( i just thought about that one.)
mod2:
ok found something

I guess you are in Current.

It seems you should install : exiv2-0.26-x86_64-3

Just to check do :
Code:
ll /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/exiv*
