Hi,
cinnamon (and maybe other desktops/packages) seem to use
libreadline.so.6 which was updated today to a new SONAME. There should
be a fast update to load the SONAME=7 or the generic shared object with
the next release to prevent failures like this:
nullptr ~ % cinnamon &
[1] 1111
cinnamon: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.6: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
[1] + 1111 exit 127 cinnamon
nullptr ~ % ls /usr/lib/libreadline.so
completing files
libreadline.so@ libreadline.so.7@ libreadline.so.7.0*
nullptr ~ % LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libreadline.so cinnamon &
The last command works. It would be nice to have a fast update for
cinnamon and all other packages that don't use the generic libreadline.so
Thank you!
Sebastian
