encfs fails with new boost update

Mounting with encfs (1.5-8) gives an error with the boost (1.42.0-1) update.

It returns the following error:

encfs: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_serialization-mt.so.1.41.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Mkay. Done.

And when I rebuilt it with the new boost, it gave an error about not being able to parse the .encfs6.xml file.

@Arm-the-Homeless:

Aaaargh - you are so right! Just discovered the horror of this myself ...

$ encfs ~/folder ~/mountpt
00:45:54 (FileUtils.cpp:375) Archive exception: stream error
00:45:54 (FileUtils.cpp:326) Found config file /home/user/folder/.encfs6.xml, but failed to load
Creating new encrypted volume.
Please choose from one of the following options:
enter "x" for expert configuration mode,
enter "p" for pre-configured paranoia mode,
anything else, or an empty line will select standard mode.

My laptop is paralysed unless I downgrade now.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Some months ago LUKS users were locked out of their homes http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16735 now EncFS has problems. Seems very unreliable and a dangerous game to be playing. Or maybe it is a plus, data that is safe even from you! smile

You need to install an RTFM interface.

Could you please provide a link to your bug report? I couldn't find it in the Arch Bugtracker I'm afraid.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Additionally -- beware, anyone using the [testing] repos.  Openssl/libssl 0.9.8m-1 will also break encfs even if you've downgraded it and boost.  It will mount and show directories okay, but you'll get an "Input/output error" when trying to access files.

It seems to be working for me at encfs 1.5-6, boost 1.41.0-2, and openssl 0.9.8l-1.  (x86_64)

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Strange, there was no issues here after upgrading boost and encfs. Should I expect problems later?

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

I have:

boost 1.42.0-1
openssl 0.9.8l-1
pyopenssl 0.10-1

and don't see any problems on a locally mounted directory that resides on external Esata disk.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

@ SanskritFritz and Mektub:

Your working encrypted filesystems: are these newly created ones or ones created with the previous versions of encfs, boost and openssl?

It was with a previous version, don't know which one, since it was about 3 years ago.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Same situation here. My encrypted filesystem is at least two years old.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Ooo. This was bad. I had to recompile encfs against boost 1.41 to get it up and running again.

Thanx for the thread dudes! I had probably not figured this one out on my own.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

How can downgrading be done? It seems I'm not able to compile encfs against a boost-1.41 compiled out of the offiicial tarball and I've already deleted the cached pacman packages...

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

When downgrading boost to 1.41 beware of a recent akonadi update if you're a kde4 user. It requires boost-1.42 so you can either use akonadi and all kde pim apps like kmail or contact or you can use encfs. Or you downgrade akonadi, which is what I did smile

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Even after downgrading, I cannot access my files.

They get mounted correctly, and ls lists the files and their sizes just right, but if I try to read them:

cat: file.txt: Input/output error

What happened here?

@ MTsoul and Arm-the-Homeless: This may be related to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=92397 about openssl. I had to downgrade from openssl-0.9.8m to openssl-0.9.8l to access files.

Re: encfs fails with new boost update

Hi,

I also experienced this problem, downgrading libboost should not be an option, as there are some apps ( hugin, lyx ) that are build against the latest version.

Any real fix here?
