missing libpq.so.4 kills amarok

broch · 2007-03-08 15:20:08

symlink to the new libpq.so.5.0 works partially: amarok starts but no sound (sound in general works in xmms and kscd and used to work in amarok).

Not sure what provided libpq.so.4

Thank you for help.

It's due to postgresql in testing. Your best call is to install postgresql-libs from current.

broch · 2007-03-08 16:22:54

thanks, but this is what I have:
postgresql-libs-8.2.3-1

That package is from testing. you need the one from current:
pacman -S current/postgresql-libs

You can also post a bug report to have a rebuilt amarok in the testing repo.

I've posted a bug report already.

Thank you. This resolved my problem.

After the last update I' ve got the same problem.....

Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libpq.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I' ve also reistalled postgresql-libs from current, but the problem was not solved.
Any idea?

Could be a mirror problem: http://www.archlinux.org/news/299/

Ok thank you, I' ve reported it to the bug tracker
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6638

here amarok is complaining about missing libdb-4.4.so

$ amarok

After last pacman -Syu, I have db-4.5.20, which required by a lot of stuff and I cant downgrade to 4.4...

Now, I get this:

 libmtp.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is libmtp a dep of amarok? In dependencies field of PKGBUILD, there isn't. For you, amarok works or not?

Thanks

I got this error after latest upgrade and had to install libofa

amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libofa.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

matersci · 2007-03-21 17:19:53

amarok-base package is totally messed up after last update...

After pacman -Syu on a different PC and same problem

$ amarok
Amarok: [Loader] Starting amarokapp..
Amarok: [Loader] Don't run gdb, valgrind, etc. against this binary! Use amarokapp.
amarokapp: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have the same issue as you, matersci.

matersci · 2007-03-21 20:20:48

The previous task in the bug tracker is now closed.
This is not a mirror or a sync problem. I am running the latest versions of amarok and db.

I reported it again with more details.
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6674

cheer · 2007-03-21 23:53:57

Hmm, the bug is closed. My system is up-to-date also. And I have the same issue. tpowa, may be you can ask what versions of packages (and what packages!) do we need if you think it is not a bug?

matersci · 2007-03-22 00:29:15

I don't think this is a sync error.
The packages I have are the latests.
amarok-base 1.4.5-4 and db 4.5.20-1.
The problem is not with the packages. I have also try to remove them and reinstall them from a different mirror.

I don't think tpowa is watching this topic...:/

Symlinking solves the problem. Want to use abs and see if it helps

matersci · 2007-03-22 08:25:00

it may work, but this is not the right solution.

cheer · 2007-03-22 10:44:10

Yes, you're absolutely right. Compiling the package from ABS doesn't help also.

tpowa · 2007-03-22 20:10:55

probably a dep for amarok is then broken

matersci · 2007-03-23 10:47:03

I used my 10 days back up and did again pacman -Syu
tried 5-6 different servers and every time the amarok problem exists.

matersci · 2007-03-23 20:26:05

The error is with Berkeley DB, which is not an amarok dependency.

I did a manualy update of amarok and it work fine.
Then I updated db and amarok didn't start.

I also had a problem with k3b. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=31100
When I manually updated k3b everything was ok. After the db update I had the same problem.
The solution I found is to copy libdb-4.4.so somewhere, before the db update and paste it at /usr/lib after the update.
Now everything works fine (amarok and k3b)

So, it is obvious that this is not neither a sync error neither a broken amarok dep...
