[SOLVED] Clementine broken after system upgrade

Hey everyone!

It all started that awful night when did a system upgrade with

pacman -Syu

It seems the protobuf package got updated and now it includes libprotobuf.so.9 instead of libprotobuf.so.8, which is the one Clementine needs because I got the error

clementine: error while loading shared libraries: libprotobuf.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Doing a symlink didn't work so I chose to downgrade protobuf. By doing this I succeded in the sense that now Clementine at least opens up. Nevertheless, if I try to play anything I get this error and no sound at all:

GStreamer could not create the element: volume. Please make sure that you have installed all necessary GStreamer plugins (e.g. OGG and MP3)

GStreamer could not create the element: equalizer-nbands. Please make sure that you have installed all necessary GStreamer plugins (e.g. OGG and MP3)

GStreamer could not create the element: audiopanorama. Please make sure that you have installed all necessary GStreamer plugins (e.g. OGG and MP3)

I already tried cleaning up the gstreamer registry as suggested by some googling, to no avail.

I'm running out of options, I'd appreciate any help on this

Re: [SOLVED] Clementine broken after system upgrade

yes, sorry

clementine-1.2.3-3

(sidenote: in the terminal that's the version I see but in Help -> About it says 1.2.1-297-g7671108... weird)

What's the output of `which clementine`? I'll bet you have an old version installed somewhere.

Yep, there you go. You installed it manually, outside of pacman, at some point and that's what's getting launched.

Awesome, thanks!! I deleted this clementine now it launches the correct one, which has no issue whatsoever

Thanks a lot, great community

Re: [SOLVED] Clementine broken after system upgrade

The best way is if you still have the original build dir around, you can do a `make uninstall`. If that dir is gone, you'll need to go in and remove the files manually. You can use a script like lostfiles in the AUR to find files not tracked by pacman to help find the files in question.
