chromium ungoogled complaining about libFLAC library
yesterdays aa_libraries upgrade (12/16/2022) in Slackware-64-current removed libFLAC.so.8 and now chromium ungoogled does not start complaining about mission library.
I assume that there is a replacement.
Does anyone know how to install libFLAC.so.8 lib

Yes, of course but if I wanted to recompile OS I would run Gentoo (very nice distro) but on the laptop, this is not feasible so I will wait for the updated version of chromium ungoogled as I mentioned above
I guess we will soon get a flac-compat package from alienbob as compiling two different versions for 15.0 and -current takes several hours. Meanwhile i built my own flac-compat package containing only libFLAC++.so.6.3.0 and libFLAC.so.8.3.0 (plus the symlinks) from the old 1.3.4 package.

I can confirm that chromium 64bit -current (not the ungoogled version) from AlienBob refuses to start after dec 16th upgrades.

The next Chromium package which is in the process of compiling (takes 8+ hours) will use its own internal FLAC library. That will solve the problem.
and this morning I see in alienbob's ChangeLog.txt file
Code:

Don't having this issue myself. OK, I don't have Eric's audacity-3.2.1 installed. I'm on version 3.2.2, compiled with Eric's buildscript a fortnight ago (so before the aaa_libraries upgrade of yesterday).

Interesting, mine complains:
Code:
bash-5.2$ audacity
audacity: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A dirty fix that often works is to try a symlink for the missing library. The key is to track these symlinks so that when the affected software is fixed you can back out the changes. As always, the best method is to recompile the affected package but if you're using a pre-complied packages then your options are limited.
Here are the entries from my tracking file (/root/links_added) for yesterday's chromium-ungoogled event:
