GMPC and gnutls

[gavs]

I am using GMPC/MPD in cloud mode with Tinycore 4.1. Starting Saturday 26 November, GMPC would not start. In Aterm, I get the message that libgnutls.so.26 cannot be found. A new version of gnutls.tcz was made available on Friday 25 November. The file list shows libgnutls.so.28.

I am not competent to determine if updating GMPC to the newest version 11.8 would resolve this incompatibility.

Please advise on best course of action to get GMPC working again.

Thank you

Well, seems a broken dependency. As a first try, make a symlink libgnutls.so.26  to libgnutls.so.28 and let me know the result.

Hi gavs
Here's the syntax just in case you need it:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.28 /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.26

I have the same problem with qalculate! and pidgin, the rich command repair the situation.

[gavs]

Thank you bmarcus for the quick attention, and rich for the syntax (I did need it).

Unfortunately I did not have the same success as vinnie. Trying to start gmpc gives the following error message:

gmpc: error while loading shared libraries: libgnutls.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

But when I do an ls -al on libgnutls.so.26 it shows it with -> to libgnutls.so.28

When I do an ls -al on libgnutls.so.28 it shows it with -> to a /tmp/tcloops file. Would this create complications with the symlink?

On the subject of the libgnutls.so.26, here is a list of extensions that are linked to libgnutls.so.26.  Not all of them have gnutls in their dep files and may not explicitly need it as a dependency.  There have been some updates in the last day or so that may have changed the list, but as of a couple days ago these extensions have files linked to libgnutls.so.26.  I will update and rerun the routine later today and see if there are any changes, takes quite a while so the real time ldd info is not always available. 

EDIT:  I downloaded the below from the repo now and double checked them so the list now should be accurate.

Hi gavs
You could try deleting  /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.26  link and then recreate it to point to the same
/tmp/tcloop location as the /usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.28 link, not sure that should really matter though.

[bmarkus]

Asked Jason to rollback to previous 2.12.14 version as gnutls 3.x breaks dependencies. Sorry for inconvenience.

[Jason W]

Ok, it's no problem at all, I will roll it back now. 

[gavs]

Rich, thank you for the suggestion. As you suspected, this did not seem to matter and I get the same error message.

bmarkus, thank you for investigating this issue.

Jason W, thank you for rolling back so promptly. GMPC starts now with gnutls version 2.12.14
