Library (IOKit) missing since 10.8.2 update

Since the OS X 10.8.2 update a bunch of applications no longer are able to launch.


That includes:

TextMate

TextWrangler

Numbers

Chrome

....


Each of these applications shows an error report when I'm trying to open it up. Each error message includes the same error:


Application Specific Information:

dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries


Dyld Error Message:

Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions+A/IOKit

Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/ QD.framework/Versions/A/QD

Reason: image not found


The issue seems to be the "+" instead of a "/" in the path.


$ ls -lah /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1,2M 24 Sep 08:20 /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions/A/IOKit


$ ls -lah /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions+A/IOKit

ls: /System/Library/Frameworks/IOKit.framework/Versions+A/IOKit: No such file or directory


Is there a quick fix for this issue?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)
