[arch-general] libgdbm.so.4 breakage?
Hi all, I was about to lodge a bug regarding this, but now I'm not sure if it's something my system is doing or... Anyway, tonight I needed to RDP to a work box, and both Remmina and Vinagre both failed to run: % remmina remmina: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory % vinagre vinagre: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I wrote some scripts, and discovered the following packages are expecting this library (see http://pastebin.com/DyWw74iK for the complete output of my script): apr-util 1.3.12-3 avahi 0.6.30-6 python2 2.7.2-4 python 3.2.2-2 ruby 1.9.3_p0-2 subversion 1.6.17-7 vinagre 3.2.2-1 zsh 4.3.12-3 After seeing this, I tried svn: % svn --help svn: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Zsh works still, luckily... :) I have an entry in pacman.log that says I upgraded gdbm on: [2011-01-13 19:57] upgraded gdbm (1.8.3-7 -> 1.8.3-8) [2011-11-07 01:00] upgraded gdbm (1.8.3-8 -> 1.8.3-9) The reason I haven't lodged an FS is because I downgraded to gdbm 1.8.3-8 (from Janurary!) and it doesn't have libgdbm.so.4 either, so I'm not sure if there's something weird on my system or what. I'm confused and astonished that I haven't noticed it until tonight. "pacman -Ql gdbm" clearly states no reference to libgdbm.so.4, just libgdbm.so.3 ... Halp... Multipass... -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)

"pacman -Ql gdbm" clearly states no reference to libgdbm.so.4, just libgdbm.so.3 ...
Halp... Multipass...

Strange, the file is there, at least on mirrors.us.kernel.org. I'm using http://mir.archlinux.fr and gdbm has been updated when I did Syu a few hours ago. -- Cédric Girard

Please show the output of 'pacman -Qi gdbm' and 'pacman -Si gdbm'.

Not sure that is the best approach, I would have done 'pacman -Syyu'. I guess the devs or someone that knows better will advise on the best way to deal with it. -- Mauro Santos

Indeed, -Syy is the right way to deal with this.

Passing two --refresh or -y flags will force a refresh of all package lists even if they appear to be up to date.
I've used Arch and pacman for ages now, just one of those very obscure things you learn that you hopefully won't forget when you need it again. Apologies for the noise. Cheers. -- Simon Perry (aka Pezz)

I had to do that the first time after installing from the arch cd. I forget the reason though now, Sorry.
