[SOLVED] Chromium stopped working after gcc-libs/gcc update

Hi, yesterday after upgrading the system to the latest stuff my chromium stopped working with the message :

[hades@artemis ~]$ chromium
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libssp.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[hades@artemis ~]$

I don't know where I can find this library, I already tried reinstalling gcc-libs 10 times and even base and base-devel groups without success.

What happened?

Chromium should be updated to the latest version too (I just pacman -Syu 'ed the system)

Ok, you can close the thread, it happened that my pacman mirror server is a little messed up atm... changing the mirror solved the problem

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium stopped working after gcc-libs/gcc update

libssp was removed from gcc-libs as it is not needed on a glibc system.   Also, no packages in our repos link to that library...   I have just checked chromium on both i686 and x86_64 and they do not.

What version of chromium do you have installed?  Provide the "pacman -Qi chromium" output.

Edit: well, the problem got solved while I was typing...

Re: [SOLVED] Chromium stopped working after gcc-libs/gcc update

NOT solved for those who use third-party binaries that link to libssp.

One such binary is ShareClip - an indispensable utility with no existing alternatives (yes, I have searched for WEEKS!) and without a source form compilable with free compilers.

I sort-of solved the problem for myself by copying libssp from an older gcc-libs package, but that is a hack, not a solution.
