[Solved]Electron22 based software suddenly not work after update

Hi, my VisiualStudioCode suddenly cannot be opened anymore after I finished whole system update and reboot my computer.

I use Gnome desktop Environment and up to date system.

When I tried to openup any electron-based applications (such as telegram-desktop, code...etc), it showed up this error message:

/usr/lib/electron22/electron: error while loading shared libraries: libmbedcrypto.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems that electron cannot find its dependency libmbedcrypto.so.7, I searched about it on the Internet, found that it is provided by mbedtls,
and `pacman -Sii mbedtls` showed that it provides libmbedcrypto.so=14-64.

So, it seems that it's the problem that the electron22 is still using the old `.so.7` which has been deprected.

Any idea about it ?

Use 'lddtree' from the pax-utils package to identify which specific file introduces that soname dependency, then use pacman to identify what package provides that. My guess is you've replaced a repo package with an AUR package, and that needs to be rebuilt against the new mbedtls.

THX, I found that it is caused by the package obs-studio-browser which recomplied a bunch of packages such ffmpeg, caused this problem. After I removed this package and reinstalled the ffmpeg package, Problem solved.

Re: [Solved]Electron22 based software suddenly not work after update

Wormzy's assessment was more accurate then mine.

No need to use lldtree or AUR (this time) .

$ pacman -F libmbedcrypto.so.7
extra/mbedtls2 2.28.3-3
    usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.7
$ 

Try installing mbedtls2 .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
