It's the patch related to the pull request #1813:

Simple fix/hack as root:

open "/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libarchive.pc"

on the last line "Requires.private:" remove "iconv", save file... move on.

Proper fix needs to be worked out upstream, but rather than re-building Slackware packages, that enables you to do whatever building you need. Nothing I've built has ended up broken locally afterwards, but take my uneducated advice with a grain of salt.

This works, thanks

This worked for me as well but the fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz package is quite different now compared to before the libarchive update.

As I posted above, the fwupd.SlackBuild failed for me too.

Removing iconv from /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libarchive.pc and running fwupd.SlackBuild did not fail.

However, there are 186 fewer or changed files now compared to the same fwupd SlackBuild before the libarchive update.

If anyone cares, I've got a Unified Diff on the fwupd Package Files before and after.

Paraphrasing your warning: Buyer Beware :)

Not a member of the Slackware Team but I imagine Pat and the Team will apply proper fixes to libarchive as soon as possible.

HTH.

FYI

Archlinux have dropped iconv from .pc file

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogi...b5362b3c8c1204

All --

For the record, yesterday's libarchive update for Slackware 15.0 fixed the iconv issue when executing fwupd.SlackBuild.

Thanks to Pat and the Team !

EDIT: USER ERROR -- I messed with the meson options in fwupd.SlackBuild last week and did not restore the original SlackBuild

Shucks ...

fwupd compiles but fwupdtool does not run.

Maybe I did it wrong ?

I don't see libjcat in the Official Slackware 15.0 MANIFEST nor at SlackBuilds.org but I did find libjcat at https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat

Digging a little deeper ...

-- kjh

Code:

# fwupdtool --help

fwupdtool: error while loading shared libraries: libjcat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I haven't tried running fwupdtool but:

/var/lib/pkgtools/packages/fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-2_SBo:usr/lib64/libjcat.so.1.0.0

This tool allows an administrator to use the fwupd plugins without being installed on the host system.

But I compiled and installed this package about a month ago (Slackware64-15.0) (before the libarchive fiasco):

Code:

# ls -l /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-2_SBo 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150138 Nov 14 15:12 /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-2_SBo

EDIT: USER ERROR -- I messed with the meson options in fwupd.SlackBuild last week and did not restore the original SlackBuild

Thanks drumz.

Yes, the copy of fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz-old-libarchive.tgz that I build before the libarchive update includes libjcat so and include files but this morning's Package built with the new libarchive does not.

-- kjh

This is the Package created with the old libarchive.

Code:

# tar -tvf fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz-old-libarchive.tgz |grep libjcat

Indeed, it seems that libjcat is a required dependency

I tried on both -current & 15.0

OMG !

I remember now that I messed with the meson options in the fwupd.SlackBuild last week.

I reinstalled the fwupd.SlackBuild files on my system and now the package includes the libjcat files and `fwupdtool` works as expected.

Sorry about the waste of time.
