samba errors after update ?? [solved]

I've just updated my samba package and now I get this error on startup

[tim@timbo ~]$ /etc/rc.d/samba start
:: Starting Samba Server                                                 [BUSY] /usr/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/nmbd: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
                                                                         [FAIL]
[tim@timbo ~]$

Everything was working fine before this update

EDIT

I have tried symlinking " ln -s /usr/lib/libhx509.so.4.0.0 /usr/lib/libhx509.so.3" but I still get a [fail] on samba start

Any help welcome, thanks

Tim

Re: samba errors after update ?? [solved]

First off, never symlink libraries. You may introduce very difficult to find bugs by doing this.

It looks like the version of samba that you have on your machine is built against an older  heimdal. Is your whole system up to date?

Re: samba errors after update ?? [solved]

From my view the bug seems to come from the maschine of the package maintainer because if i compile it by myself this is gone:

$ ldd /usr/sbin/smbd | grep libhx509
        libhx509.so.3 => not found
        libhx509.so.4 => /usr/lib/libhx509.so.4 (0xb7317000)

$ ldd pkg/usr/sbin/smbd | grep libhx509
        libhx509.so.4 => /usr/lib/libhx509.so.4 (0xb77f9000)

@skottish Perhaps it would be a good idea to write a bug report.

Re: samba errors after update ?? [solved]

I've got a fully upgraded system and get the following when issuing the command /etc/rc.d/samba restart:

:: Stopping Samba Server                 [DONE] 
:: Starting Samba Server                 [BUSY]
/usr/sbin/smbd: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/nmbd: error while loading shared libraries: libhx509.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory    [FAIL]

So it looks like the latest upgrade has indeed caused the breakage.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: samba errors after update ?? [solved]

I'm not going to file a bug report because I don't use samba. It makes it hard to see what's happening. Either it could be that samba's out of date, or it could be that some of the mirrors are. Would someone having this problem please do it?

Re: samba errors after update ?? [solved]

There is a bugreport about it: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12544

I'm not going to file a bug report because I don't use samba.

Sorry this was my mistake because i've overseen that foggybrain and not you open this thread ... silly scrolling from myself.

in reply to

yes

I perform pacman -Syu every day, if not every hour

EDIT

why does the bug report say it's fixed, when it is not ?

I'm gonna wind my system back pre-samba-update until this is fixed

No sign of fixed updates here either - hopefully just the mirrors taking a while to sync?
