subversion does not work any longer

helmut · 2009-11-04 00:42:22

I have had a working version of subversion installed. At the moment subversion does not work any more and complains about a missing library.

Message:
svn: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.7.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have already removed subversion with pacman -R subversion and reinstalled it with pacman -S subversion, but the problem persists.

Can anybody give me a hint?

Which version of subversion are you using? 1.6.5-5 is linked against libdb-4.8.so (at least on x86_64).

With pacman I have installed "extra/subversion 1.6.5-5".

I have a x86_64 as well. But the installed svn tries to link to 4.7 and fails to start.

I have checked "/usr/lib" and I have libdb-4.8.so installed on my system.

Do you have that version installed? It looks like you queried the pacman database (-Si) rather than your local database (-Qi).

pacman -Qi subversion tells me that 1.6.5-5 is installed.

Well, then. It is definitely not subversion causing your problem, but some dependency. Is your system fully up to date?

chpln · 2009-11-04 01:54:30

Assuming this is the same system, I suspect this issue will disappear when http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83961 is solved. (Un)fortunately, I've never came across a broadcom wireless device -- I'd rather not risk giving erroneous advice there.

I have tried to rebuild subversion from scratch via makepkg. But this failed for share library problems as well.

Message during mkpkg: sh: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Unfortunately I cannot pacman -Syu due to the problem reported in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=83961. It seems that I have a deadlock now.

Allan · 2009-11-04 02:53:14

Well, then.... your system is fairly screwed. If you cannot do a full upgrade, never update the pacman database and then install new software.

i.e.
only: pacman -Syu; pacman -S <pkg>
never: pacman -Sy; pacman -S <pkg>

I'll tell you how to fix in your braodcom-wl thread.
