Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

~> xmobar
xmobar: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by xmobar)

Glibc 2.35 is currently in Testing repo.
Actual Arch version is 2.33.
As for exactly 2.34 - there is no such repo in Arch at all.

Re: Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

I just set up arch on my brothers gaming computer after he left for college so this is a semi fresh install. I am trying to set up my xmobar and I run into this issue,

xmobar: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by xmobar)

I ran a

yay

and it said nothing was needed to upgrade, i didn't want to upgrade the single package cause it has destroyed my system before so i went through doing all the

pacman -S

and then

pacman -Sy

then

pacman -Su

Then

pacman -Suu

but all of them said "there is nothing to do" so I rebooted and still same problem I am now stuck and would really apr help

Re: Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

If you haven't mixed packages from different repositories, the package is possibly built against glibc 2.35 in testing. And you don't need 4 commands, pacman -Syu suffices.

Re: Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

It looks like xmobar may have been accidentally rebuilt against the new toolchain before it has been tested thoroughly. Open a bug on the bug tracker and downgrade to the previous version using the Arch Linux Archive.

Mod note: Merged the two threads.

Re: Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

I have found a bigger problem.
Many packages by Yan Felix (@felixonmars) are broken.
These include:
- shellcheck
- pandoc
- cabal-install
- xmobar

All of these packages fail with

usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by ...)

Luckily xmonad (packaged by him on 2022-02-09) is not (yet) part of them.

Re: Xmobar is built in wrong environment (wrong glibc version)

I'm also experiencing this after updating xmobar this morning. Thanks for the heads up on the other packages.
I tried rolling back to a couple of older xmobar versions, but ran into other dependency issues. I've settled on using xmobar-git from AUR until this is resolved.

Not that it's a fix, but until there is one, `xmobar-git` does compile and work without any issues.

There's no need to go with a -git package, you would just need to rebuild the normal one.

Absolutely no need. It's already been picked up as high severity and assigned to the relevant dev.

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