[SOLVED] Samba can't find shared library libsasl2.so.2

Samba is installed but won't start. systemctl status smbd.service returns:

smbd.service - Samba SMB/CIFS server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2013-05-22 10:17:03 EDT; 41min ago

May 22 10:17:03 andydesktop smbd[1421]: /usr/bin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libsasl2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

May 22 10:17:03 andydesktop systemd[1]: Failed to start Samba SMB/CIFS server.
May 22 10:17:03 andydesktop systemd[1]: Unit smbd.service entered failed state

I have updated with pacman -Syu and installed libsasl. I tried enabling the testing repositories, but I don't think it found a newer version (not 100% sure about this but it is still broken). pacman -Qi libsasl returns:

locate libsasl2 returns:

/usr/lib/libsasl2.so
/usr/lib/libsasl2.so.3
/usr/lib/libsasl2.so.3.0.0

Seems to me samba's looking for an older version of libsasl, but I'm not sure which one to downgrade to - or if that's even the right solution.

I found some info in this topic but I still can't figure out how to get so.2: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1272906 I did notice that my libsasl was built a day after the one in that thread; maybe they changed something?

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You should update with 'pacman -Syu', not with 'pacman -Sy'.

touche - that was actually a typo, I did do -Syu

Edit: fixed

Re: [SOLVED] Samba can't find shared library libsasl2.so.2

What's the output of 'pacman -Q samba'?

Re: [SOLVED] Samba can't find shared library libsasl2.so.2

How about pacman -Q smbclient?

Re: [SOLVED] Samba can't find shared library libsasl2.so.2

/usr/bin/smbd is provided by samba, not smbclient.

Re: [SOLVED] Samba can't find shared library libsasl2.so.2

/usr/bin/smbd is provided by samba, not smbclient.

But smbd is linked to a lot of libs from smbclient. If one of those libs is linked to libsasl2.so.2, you would get this same error.

Check it out, smbd isn't linked directly to libsasl at all. objdump -x /usr/bin/smbd | grep NEEDED

I installed smbclient and it worked!

smbd.service - Samba SMB/CIFS server
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/smbd.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since Wed 2013-05-22 12:08:18 EDT; 2s ago

Thanks so much, I wouldn't have thought of that!
