Python libffi error with aws cli

kongeor · 2020-04-14 07:59:21

Hello,

I'm using python 3.8 (with pyenv), although I assume this will be an issue with the python in arch repos.

After last upgrade, aws-cli was broken:

ImportError: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The exact version is aws-cli/1.16.290 Python/3.8.0 Linux/5.6.3-arch1-1 botocore/1.13.26.

Installing libffi6 from AUR did resolve this as suggested from dancju on the corresponding bug that was opened: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66222

I guess other libs can also be affected by this issue - but could be wrong.

I wasn't sure if I should post this but in the end I thought it may be useful mainly because multiple python versions can be affected.

the version of aws-cli in repo[1] is 1.18.37-1 .
You either didn't run a full update , or are using aws-cli from another source.
Since archlinux never had an aws-cli 1.16.290 package, another source seems likely .

Are you using pip to install things systemwide ?

Good catch on the aws-cli version. The standout package version to me was python 3.8.0 -- which is from October last year. The version of python in the repos is 3.8.2, and had a rebuild for this soname bump a few days ago: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/pack … e6f39ab1fb
