libreadline.so missing

After updating my server (pacman -Syu) this morning, I get this error and now several of my services fail to start (Samba for one)

upgrading attr... done.
sh: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or dir
ectory
upgrading readline... done.
>> You can safely ignore any "cannot open shared object" errors you see above

When I try to reinstall readline I get this

pacman -S readline
:: readline-5.1-1: is up to date.  Upgrade anyway? [Y/n]

Targets: readline-5.1-1

Total Package Size:   0.3 MB

Proceed with upgrade? [Y/n]

checking package integrity... done.
loading package data... done.
checking for file conflicts... done.
sh: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
upgrading readline... done.
>> You can safely ignore any "cannot open shared object" errors you see above

I really need these services to work... Any assistance is helpfull...

Thanks!!!

Re: libreadline.so missing

As indicated by the post-install message, you should ignore the error.

Seek the problem elsewhere. Maybe samba doesn't start because it's already running? Make sure there is no 'smbd' process running. If that's not the problem, check the logs, try starting samba not through rc script, but smbd command and so on.

What other services fail?

Thanks for the reply..

What I did was remove readline and reinstall it (Note that you have to pacman -Rd readline).

What happend with Samba is there appears to be a newer version in the ftp.archlinux.org/current repo and the others have not caught up with it yet. What I did was use a different repo thereby using an older version of Samba. The new version complains about libldap.

Not sure why the readline error caused the samba issue, but its all resolved now.

Thanks for the reply smile

Re: libreadline.so missing

The readline error is a known bug, it's completely harmless, and it did not cause your samba problem. lucke said something to that effect already, but I just thought I'd clarify it for you.
