Slackware 14.2 - Opera does not start after upgrading the package
 
Hello,

i have upgraded the Opera package from the SlackBuilds repository. After that the browser cannot start. The error message is
Code:

/usr/bin/opera: line 18: /usr/lib/opera/opera: No such file or directory
The package version is:
Code:

ls /var/log/packages | grep opera
opera-41.0.2353.46-x86_64-1_SBo

Unfortunately i cannot remember which the previous version of the application was...

There were some changes on the SBo mailing list for opera (I think) where the maintainer had accidentally used an unset ARCH variable (on 64bit systems) in the opera script. When the fix was made, it might've caused this issue. Maybe check and see where opera is installed (view the opera package file in /var/log/packages/). My guess is you'll need to edit the /usr/bin/opera script and change it from /usr/lib/opera/opera to /usr/lib64/opera/opera, but you'll need to verify that after reading /var/log/packages/opera-41.0.2353.46-x86_64-1_SBo

Thank you bassmadrigal. I just had to edit
Code:

/usr/bin/opera
on line 18 and changed it from
Code:

/usr/lib/opera/opera
to
Code:

/usr/lib64/opera/opera
I hope that it could help smebody.
