[solved] wireshark won't start

Hi,

I upgraded wireshark today via pacman and now when I try to start it I get

wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Could this be a missing dependency in the package?

Hello t4k1t!

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libGeoIP.so.1
/usr/lib/libGeoIP.so.1 is owned by geoip 1.4.6-1

Please try to reinstall this package.

Thanks, (re)installing geoip solved it.
Though it would be nice to know why this problem occured in the first place?

wireshark is apparently missing dependencies to 'lua' and 'geoip' packages.
bugtracker is down right now, so can't check if there is existing bug for it...

"Though it would be nice to know why this problem occured in the first place?" A Bad symlink can cause this too.

Ok thanks, I will take a look at the bugtracker when it's back on again.

Btw. what would cause a bad symlink?

P.s. marking this thread as solved 'cause the initial problem is solved.
