[SOLVED] KeepassXC can't find libjson-c.so.2

I have community/keepassxc 2.2.4-1 installed and when launching it, I see: 'keepassxc: error while loading shared libraries: libjson-c.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory'.

I checked and I have core/json-c 0.13-1 installed, which includes libjson-c.so.3, but not libjson-c.so.2.

Curious, I ran keepassxc with strace and I see the following:

openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/tls/x86_64/x86_64/libjson-c.so.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

What could be causing this issue?

Re: [SOLVED] KeepassXC can't find libjson-c.so.2

Use lddtree (part of community/pax-utils) to identify where that dependency is coming from. My guess is an outdated AUR-variant of a repository package.

That was *exactly* the issue here.  I had aur/yubikey-personalization-git installed.  Once I installed community/yubikey-personalization in its place, KeepassXC worked fine!  Thanks a lot

Re: [SOLVED] KeepassXC can't find libjson-c.so.2

Is it possible you did a partial upgrade? Can you make sure you fully upgrade all packages and then see if the error continues?

All packages are upgraded, it was that I had an [outdated] AUR package when I should've had the newer one in "community".

Upgrading/rebuilding aur/yubikey-personalization-git would have fixed the issue as well

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
