[SOLVED] Missing libfam.so

intmail01 · 10-31-2016, 09:07 AM

Hi,

I am using slackware 14.2, when launching a kde sesion, message appear that the libfam.so is missing. Could sone tell me in which package I can find it ?

Thanks

Code:

lars@русалка /opt/repos/slackware64-14.2/slackware64 $ bzgrep -e 'Package:|libfam\.so' MANIFEST.bz2 | grep -B1 libfam.so
||   Package:  ./l/gamin-0.1.10-x86_64-5.txz
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     31576 2012-09-23 13:03 usr/lib64/libfam.so.0.0.0

The MANIFEST.bz2 file in /slackware{,64} on mirrors contains a list of the content of all packages, and, libfam belongs to the gamin package.

It's in the gamin package. You can use http://packages.slackware.com and change the "mode" dropdown to content to search for files. You can also use slackpkg search libfam to find what packages files are from.

EDIT: e5150 beat me to it with another alternative way to find files

Very nice command line there e5150 !

Code:

# cd /path/to/slackware64-14.2/slackware64 
# 
# bzgrep -e 'Package:|libfam\.so' MANIFEST.bz2 | grep -B1 libfam.so

Looks like about all one would need for a Slackware `what-provides` command

Thank you

-- kjh( manicured a tad so I could see the `pwd` and the `bzgrep | grep -B1` pipelline )

Well, to generalise it into a script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
MIRRORDIR=/opt/repos

if [ -f /etc/os-release ];then
        . /etc/os-release
else
        VERSION_ID=`cut -d' ' -f2 /etc/slackware-version`
fi

[ "`arch`" = "x86_64" ] && ARCHSUFFIX=64

MANIFEST=$MIRRORDIR/slackware$ARCHSUFFIX-$VERSION_ID/slackware$ARCHSUFFIX/MANIFEST.bz2
bzgrep -e 'Package:|'"$1" $MANIFEST | grep -B1 "$1"

Happy slacking!

nice one e5150 !

Edited MIRRORDIR and added a few lines ( see below )
Saved as /home/local/bin/what-provides && chmod 755 /home/local/bin/what-provides ( /home/local/bin/ is in my PATH and is where I keep my handy goodies )

Tried it out and made a slight mod ( appended an extra `sed` command to sanitize away the Pair-o-Pipe-Symbols and set a full PATH on the Package Name )

Now part of my growing Slackware Bag-o-Tricks

Thanks again !

[/code]

PIPESTATUS is a bashism, so for the sake of pedantic correctness, the script ought to be a #!/bin/bash

Maybe some of my darkstar-tools might be of interest, the programs are described in their corresponding .txt and in the (mostly rather old) announcement thread.

Thanks again e5150 !

Fixed ( sh -> bash ) on my version.

I'll check out the datkstar-tools !
