xmms broken after apt-get dist-upgrade
 

hi folks. i run sid, and i usually apt-get dist-upgrade every day to keep myself up to date. sometime over the last week or so xmms ceased to work. (at least i think this is an apt-get problem. i don't recognize the error, and since i don't use xmms every day, i can't pinpoint when it went bad and make a conclusion as to what i changed that caused it). the output from the command line is

libmikmod.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/generic/dl-tls.c: 72: _dl_next_tls_modid: Assertion `result <= _rtld_local._dl_tls_max_dtv_idx' failed!

this mean anything to anyone? it seems to be correct in its assertion that libmikmod.so.2 isn't installed, but there is something called /usr/lib/xmms/Input/libmikmod.so i tried symlinking it to libmikmod.so.2, but it had the same result, which isn't really all that surprising. the second part of the error message (with all the underscores) means nothing to me, i've had zero programming experience. can anyone translate and tell me what the story is? is this a problem that lots of people are having (i.e. an apt problem that will be fixed in the next few days) or something peculiar to me (i.e. a result of running an unstable distribution with an unstable 2.6 kernel and god-knows-what-else on the poor box).

thanks for your help...

xmms in SID is working just perfect, listening to it right now :)

2.6 could be to blame, try running xmms on a 2.4 kernel.
if that fails,try removing and installing mikmod & xmms again:

apt-get remove --purge libmikmod2 xmms
apt-get install libmikmod2 xmms

[slapping head vigorously against the wall] i can't believe i forgot to check apt for libmikmod2... problem solved. sorry i wasted your time.

no problem :)
