Greetings, Abiword was upgraded from 2.8.6.1 to 2.8.6.2. [2010-08-20 01:25] upgraded abiword (2.8.6-1 -> 2.8.6-2) [2010-08-20 01:25] upgraded abiword-plugins (2.8.6-1 -> 2.8.6-2) When I attempted to start Abiword with gmrun and it failed. Next I tried in a terminal and received the following error message. [myra@gandalf abiword unable to find libwv-1.2.so.3 My troubleshooting went like this: [myra@gandalf /usr/lib]:locate libwv /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.4 /usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.4.0.3 /usr/lib/libwv.a /usr/lib/libwv.so [myra@gandalf pacman -Q wv Name : wv Version : 1.2.7-1 http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/wv/ Package Details: wv 1.2.7-1 Architecture: x86_64 Repository: Extra Description: MSWord library can load and parse Word 2000, 97, 95 and 6 file formats Upstream URL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wvware License: GPL Groups: None Maintainers: Jan de Groot Package Size: 261.3 KB Installed Size: 3.2 MB Last Packager: Jan de Groot Build Date: 2010-06-08 10:02:57 UTC Last Updated: 2010-06-08 Package Contents * usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.3 **************** * usr/lib/libwv-1.2.so.3.0.4 * usr/lib/libwv.a * usr/lib/libwv.so fix-soname.patch with PKGBUILD diff -ru wv-1.2.7.orig//configure wv-1.2.7//configure --- wv-1.2.7.orig//configure 2009-09-21 12:22:46.000000000 +0200 +++ wv-1.2.7//configure 2010-06-08 12:00:27.948857203 +0200 @@ -2082,8 +2082,8 @@ WV_MAJOR_VERSION=1 WV_MINOR_VERSION=2 WV_MICRO_VERSION=7 -WV_INTERFACE_AGE=3 -WV_BINARY_AGE=3 +WV_INTERFACE_AGE=4 +WV_BINARY_AGE=4 WV_VERSION=$WV_MAJOR_VERSION.$WV_MINOR_VERSION.$WV_MICRO_VERSION I rebuilt Abiword and everything works fine. Now for the question. Why was Abiword still trying to find the previous version of libwv and why does the package listing on the archlinux packages still show libwv-1.2.so.3? I only ask because that's the version the latest Abiword package from the repositories was looking for. Granted I built Abiword 2.8.2-1 from ABS because I was having problems getting it to work properly installing the package with pacman, and wv was installed on [2010-02-14 02:46] installed wv (1.2.7-1) which is prior to the age bump for the .so file and hasn't updated since (I've checked the pacman.log thoroughly). I'm assuming I built wv from abs at the time but can't find the package I built to check it. Makes one wonder how I wound up with libwv-1.2.so.4. AFAICT that doesn't explain the latest build of Abiword from the package repository trying to find libwv.so.3 since the PKGBUILD doesn't use version deps, or am I missing something. Ciao for now Myra -- Life's fun when your sick and psychotic!
