Recommend ONE MORE FIX to new eudev

tvespasian · 11-23-2015, 01:15 AM

Folks, having pulled some hairs out over not having Alien Bob's EXCELLENT port of Plasma 5 to Slackware64-current working since the Big upgrade Friday, I've been blessed by working with some folks on Eric's blog to discover the cause of the mischief and fix it on my own server. In /lib64 there remains the OLD udev libudev.so.0.13.1 and several symbolic links to it. DELETE that old troublemaker, and point your symlinks to eudev's /lib64/libudev.so.1.6.3, and your Plasma 5 deesktop with ALL the trimmings will come back in good working order.

The older libudev.so.0.13.1 is not there by mistake, it was put in aaa_elflibs for the following reason:

All software in -current that still linked to it was already fixed a few days ago:

Some more recompiles and a couple upgrades. Most of these were needed to
fix packages on 32-bit that were needlessly linking the old libudev.so.0.
Thanks to bormant for spotting these. After rebuilding them, they no longer
link to libudev at all...

I don't use Plasma 5, but perhaps it should point to the newer library instead?

If it's a package linked to libudev.so.0, then simply rebuild the package and check after building if it's relinked against libudev.so.1 before using it.
