Title: libbfd-2.15.so
Post by: jere666 on January 11, 2006, 10:15:47 PM

I get the following error (Debian / sarge)

amule: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.15.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ideas ?

Which packages do you use? They seem NOT to be build for sarge.

I have solved the problem this way :

ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.16.1.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.15.so

If aynone could comment why my solution works, I would appreciate. :-)

You got it the wrong way round. I guess he's using my packages which ARE built for Debian Sarge (Which has libbfd-2.15). The fact that he has libbfd-2.16 tells me that he is NOT running Debian Sarge (but more likely testing / unstable)...

Let's make a bet: I prove that you're NOT running Sarge but either testing or unstable and you send me your computer. Otherwise I'm not interested to have this conversation for the 132nd time. You may have changed your sources.list afterwards or whatever, but you are NOT running Sarge since Sarge only has libbfd-2.15...

edit:
Do me a favor and post the output of 'cat /etc/debian_version'

I must say I have been very surprised to discover the result :

cat /etc/debian_version
testing/unstable

Well, well ... Could I possibly be so "on the hedge" for my preferred distribution without even knowing it ?

So I checked a few things like the version of xfree :

 *** Opt x11      xprint-commo 0.1.0.alpha 0.1.0.alpha Xprint - the X11 print system (configuration files)
 *** Opt x11      xprt-xprinto 0.1.0.alpha 0.1.0.alpha Xprint - the X11 print system (dummy)
 *** Opt x11      xsensors     0.46-1      0.46-1      A hardware health information viewer
 *** Opt x11      xserver-comm 4.3.0.dfsg. 4.3.0.dfsg. files and utilities common to all X servers
 *** Opt x11      xserver-xfre 4.3.0.dfsg. 4.3.0.dfsg. the XFree86 X server
 *** Opt x11      xt           0.9.1-6     0.9.1-6     A graphical traceroute
 *** Opt x11      xterm        4.3.0.dfsg. 4.3.0.dfsg. X terminal emulator

And this "should" confirm that I am running Debain/Sarge, when I compare http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/ and http://packages.debian.org/testing/x11/

And the version of gcc :
gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
which "seems to be" the sarge version : gcc (4:3.3.5-3), while the "testing" version is : gcc (4:4.0.2-2)

I suppose the /etc/debian_version may not be accurate, since I have moved to sarge before sarge become the "stable" distribution of Debian.

I looked for the package of "libbfd"
/var/lib/dpkg/info$ egrep libbfd *
binutils.list:/usr/lib/libbfd-2.16.1.so
binutils.shlibs:libbfd 2.16.1 binutils

dselect tells me this :                                            
Std devel    binutils     2.16.1-2    2.16.1-2    The GNU assembler, linker and binary utilitie

The stable version (http://packages.debian.org/stable/x11/) is : binutils (2.15-6)
The testing version is : binutils (2.16.1cvs20051214-1)

So my binutils package is not correct, but I cannot figure out how this is possible.

I checked :
root:/var/lib/apt/lists# egrep "Package: binutil" *
ftp.debian.org_debian_dists_sarge_main_binary-i386_Packages:Package: binutils

And there is only 2.15 here ...

I really wonder where this 2.16 version comes from.

I swear I am not playing with anyone's nerves. You can disreguard this message if you are not interested. It seems to not be an amule problem, but rather a debian-related one.

Moreover, amule works perfectly. Thanks.Crashed one or two times, I'll post some backtraces if I reproduce the probleme.

Chances are that you had "testing" in your sources.list instead of sarge (which would have worked just as well) and installed some after-Sarge-packages (including binutils). I was just being a little annoyed since I literally encountered dozens of people with the "libbfd problem" that swore they were running Sarge until I proved them wrong and it's getting  a little old ^^

Nice to hear amule is working good for you, if you have any crash reports please post them, but please do it on the right forum (not here) since most devs don't read the packages forums...
