(SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

While installing K3b my computer locked up. Had to force a reboot. Tried reinstalling K3b and am now getting this error:

k3b: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libdvdread.so.3: file too short

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

Looks like maybe the dependencies for k3b got messed up during the inital installation. Those errors seem to refer to files that belong to libdvdread, taglib, musicbrainz, libmpcdec and dbus-qt3. So probably at least those ones will need reinstalling. If you want to be safe you can try reinstalling the other dependencies as well.

Thanks, I'll have to wait until I get back to work to see if I can figure out all the dependencies that need to be reinstalled.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

Well, got tired of trying to find every dependency that was messed up. Did a fresh install. At least I'm getting good at installing Arch.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

Probably overkill, but glad you got in working. Not sure what the problem finding dependencies was, but for future reference you can get a list of all the dependencies for a package under pacman -Si [package name]. Or if it's already installed -Qi will also work. If you haven't looked at the man page for pacman yet, that would be useful reading.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

It's searching for what each thing is that's a pain. For instance libtag_c.so:

bash-3.2# pacman -Qi libtag_c.so
error: package "libtag_c.so" not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Si libtag_c.so
error: package 'libtag_c.so' was not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Qi libtag_c.so
error: package "libtag_c.so" not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Si libtag_c.so
error: package 'libtag_c.so' was not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Si libtag
error: package 'libtag' was not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Qi libtag
error: package "libtag" not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Qi libtag_c
error: package "libtag_c" not found
bash-3.2# pacman -Si libtag_c
error: package 'libtag_c' was not found

Then you have to google libtag_c.so.:

"Audio Meta-Data Library"

Hmm, what does that mean?

Google some more, find a bunch of posts that have nothing to do with K3b. Read forum post after forum post. Still don't know what package it belongs to: libdbus and libdvdread are the only things I recognized in that list, and libdvdread was the only one that gave up it's information freely.

Since it was a new install, it was easier just to start over. This is how things can get a little frustrating for an Arch noobie.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

ahh I see where you went wrong.
You are looking for what package a particular file belongs to, this comes out of the -Qo option.

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libtag_c.sopacman -Qo /usr/lib/libtag_c.so
/usr/lib/libtag_c.so is owned by taglib 1.5-1.

I was also thinking it might just be simple to reinstall each of the packages, from the output of pacman -Si k3b this is
cdrdao  cdrkit  cdparanoia  kdelibs3  libsamplerate  lame  libidn  libmad  normalize  sox  hal>=0.5.8.1-6  ffmpeg>=20070131  musicbrainz  libart-lgpl  taglib>=1.4  libmpcdec>=1.2.5  libdvdread  dbus-qt3  flac>=1.2.0  libvorbis


Though like you said, for a fresh install sometimes it's easier to just start from scratch when the problems were caused by something that's not likely to occur again.

Ohh, nice. I didn't think of that. Thanks. Hopefully it won't happen again, but now I know better where to look.

Appreciate the help.

I get similar error whenever I try to install any application through pacman.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

baffled as to how this is "solved".  A rebuild is a workaround, not a solution.  I also have this problem where multiple packages seem to have been installed with files of zero size.

Re: (SOLVED) K3b installation is hosed. "File too short"

Create a new thread explaining what happened and what you've tried to solve it. Link back to this thread if you think it's relevant, but after 4 years, I doubt it will be.
