[SOLVED ftm] Missing libunistring.so.2: partial system breakage

Hi folks,

since my recent (daily) update I can't do much things with my p4 any longer.

First I thought, there's something wrong with my net connecting, because I am not able able to go online.

Yet I can't do even a ping:

ping: error while loeading shared libraries: libunistring.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Idk if this one is related:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=281295

But the same error also appears just when doing "pacman -Qi libunistring"...

Yes, I had to push libunistring, so a lot of packages above now need rebuilds.

But ping should be:

/usr/bin/ping (interpreter => /lib/ld-linux.so.2)
    libcap.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcap.so.2
    libidn2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libidn2.so.0
        libunistring.so.5 => /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5
    libresolv.so.2 => /usr/lib/libresolv.so.2
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6

It has nothing to do with the upstream bug.. we are just behind here with rebuilds. I lost all build slaves
due to openssl 1.1 to 3.0 transitions, gnu make, libunistring were also not helping.

Let me rebuild and push iputils, just to make sure..

Looking forward to it. ^^

However, atm I can't even regularly update stuff, since, as I said – invoking pacman gives the same error...

Roughly speaking, because of this issue I can't go online any longer, nor can I deal with packages.

So, home come and what options do I have at all?



Also I believe that very missing lib causes the failure of some window managers. While openbox(-session) starts properly, e. g. liquidshell ends up in a garbled screen.

Particular apps behave accordingly:
xfce4-terminal: doesn't work
xterm:      does

Not to mention thunderbird, which works but won't e.g. retrieve mails, because my p4 box can't go online.

For me

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libunistring.so.5 /usr/lib/libunistring.so.2

resolved the libunistring issue. I was lucky that I didn't update when the openssl transition was ongoing though.

@benpicco

Good guess.
I already tried a similar  "ln -s" yesterday which failed – because I looked for a "libunistring1.so" . . .
And I could not query the package "libunistring" because of the missing lib error of pacman.

didn't work for me though.

Hence I linked to "/usr/lib/libunistring.so", rebooted – and that one did it, for now.

Anyway I consider this one a contemporary fix, since I can now update, but it looks we will have to wait for a new (p4) package "libunistring", right? – Anyway v1.1-2 on Arch32 seems up-to-date.
