[SOLVED] ffmpeg crashing after updating icu package

megafreakshow · 2021-01-05 10:37:30

Hello,

Yesterday after updating icu (67.1-1.0 -> 68.2-1.1) ffmpeg crashes with the following error:

$ ffmpeg
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.67: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Arch: pentium4
ffmpeg ver: 2:4.3.1-1.1

Cheers!

Confirmed at least also for office programs (libreoffice, abiword), thunderbird, text editors, pdf viewers, and even thunar behaving weird...

So I guess there's still lot of update work to do and we're told to be patient for the next couple of days, too.

Happy New Year all btw!

That´s fine by me. I can wait.

I'll check back next week.

Happy New Year!

While it's true, that some patience is required, it's also important to poke us devs about these issues. I'll take a look - probably a bunch of packages need to be recompiled.

looks, like the problem is an old version of libxml2 in [extra]. I'll move some packages around, let's see, if that helps

Apparently xfce4-terminal depends on libicuuc.so.68 as built, while my system currently only has libicuuc.so.69.

You can temporarily install the icu67 package to un-break the breaking.. :-)

This one is due to vte3 being unable to build due to some python module problem presumably in gobject-introspection.

Updating libxml2 worked!

Heres my last upgrade

Package (6)            Old Version     New Version     Net Change

core/autoconf          2.69-7.1        2.70-1.0          0.20 MiB
extra/cantarell-fonts  1:0.201-1.0     1:0.301-1.0      -0.19 MiB
core/gmp               6.2.0-1.0       6.2.1-1.0        -0.05 MiB
core/libmpc            1.1.0-2.0       1.2.1-1.0         0.00 MiB
extra/libxml2          2.9.10-6.0      2.9.10-8.2        0.00 MiB
extra/mono             6.10.0.104-1.0  6.12.0.107-1.0   -0.52 MiB

ffmpeg is now working again and I'm marking this topic as solved unless a dev thinks there are other issues.

Cheers

That did it for me – thx a million, guys!

I just noticed that vte3 was built and released yesterday. That's fixed my xfce4-terminal issues, although I only noticed when I hit my drop down menu shortcut using muscle memory and was surprised when xfce4-terminal appeared. Means I can finally stop having to copy and paste my links from newsboat by carefully selecting them, copying them with ctrl+insert, pasting them into a copy of vim running under my own user, and copying it back out using "+yy, or starting a copy of gvim and using the menu copy because I don't know how to drive visual mode in vim yet if it's got more than one line, and finally pasting it into my browser using shift+insert. Thanks for xfce4-terminal I can just use the right click menu and select copy link without even having to select it and then pasting it into my browser (I can use either shift+insert or ctrl+v to do that).

Hi, I'm sorry for being late at party, I know that installing ICU 67 will solve the problem but I don't have the package anymore (perhaps get deleted when I perform pacman -Sc). any advice? Looking through aur it doesn't exist.

levi · 2021-01-14 23:41:03

You can always find old packages almost back to the year dot at the packages archive. But yeah, a pacman -Sc is meant to clear out unused packages, so if you want to roll back don't do that.

Edit: Trying out ffmpeg now, it doesn't report the same error as before, but if I try to play back any video file I have here, it says there are no streams. Mplayer playing back audio works again though.
