[Solved] - Plasma 5.8.4 breaks KMyMoney. - kdemeoz - 7th January 2017

Hi. Posting this SOLUTION here in case it helps others avoid the momentary heart-failure i incurred today when KMM failed to launch, soon after my Maui Plasma upgrade from 5.8.3 to 5.8.4 via Neon backport.

Symptom: Standard launch attempt of KMM results instead in no KMM UI or processes, but if repeated via Konsole for error visibility:

Code:
kmymoney: error while loading shared libraries: libgpgme-pthread.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Panic !!

DDG search lead to gold -- https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=309&t=137494

From which i did:
Launch a Konsole window in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, then run:

Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgpgme.so.11 libgpgme-pthread.so.11

Re-launch KMM... sweet. Thank goodness!
