[SOLVED]mpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfmt.so.9: undefined symb

Bluish9992 · 2023-05-26 08:26:22

hello everyone I hope you hare having a nice day

i'm getting this error from mpd(music player daemon) when i run

mpd

in my terminal

mpd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfmt.so.9: undefined symbol: `Zݢ\I, version CXXABI_1.3

usually it just turns the daemon on, no output in return, i just run it and the gui i use for it just works.

i'm on arch linux kernel 6.3.4-arch1-1

i tried reinstalling mpd through pacman and also the fmt package that comes up as the owner of this dependency when i do a

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libfmt.so.9

any suggestions is much appreciated

Does it *literlly* say "`Zݢ\" or is that some copypasta noodles?

locale
locale -a
localectl

type mpd
lddtree /usr/bin/mpd # pax-utils

hello @seth, nice to hear from you again, thank you for always replying

it does literally say that, but actually i messed up my copy pasting, i edited the first post to complete the error message i'm getting.

You probably want to use something that isn't C.UTF-8 here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale … tem_locale

additional information:
i ran

sudo pacman -Rcns mpd

to uninstall it, then i thought maybe there are some config files that didn't completely get deleted? so i

locate mpd

and i have these files:

you guys think i could delete these manually?

seth · 2023-05-26 14:51:11

stat /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2.20
pacman -Qo

"locate" will show old files when the database hasn't been updated yet.

Do yo get the *same* error with the same nonsense symbol being looked for on the en_US.UTF-8 locale?

Bluish9992 · 2023-05-26 15:35:08

i updated before i did 'locate', yeah. I mean when i ls or cd into the dirs and check the files, they're there.

yes same error with the new locale

$ pacman -Qo mpd        
error: No package owns mpd

What if you strace mpd

strace -e trace=%file mpd

Edit:

$ pacman -Qo mpd        
error: No package owns mpd

How did you install mpd?

i ran
sudo pacman -Rcns mpd

The stuff might be stale but I flubbed the test:

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2.20

how's it going @loqs

$ strace mpd                        
strace: Can't stat 'mpd': No such file or directory

i installed it through pacman just normally 'pacman -Syu mpd' it's been working fine for almost a year. an update for it happened the other day i think

@seth you were right on the money as always

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2.20
/usr/lib/libmpdclient.so.2.20 is owned by libmpdclient 2.20-3

i uninstalled that and reinstalled mpd and it works now thanks

i guess i do remember installing this for a polybar addon i was fiddling with

i appreciate everyone's help this forum is the best
