which package is "iconv"? Sbopkg said..

good catch, camerabambai

I get the same error on Slackware64 15.0 + MultiLib

As rizitis noted, libarchive was updated Fri Dec 9 19:43:46 UTC 2022

So maybe there is an issue with the new libarchive related to iconv ?

Not sure, I havn't dug any deeper.

since libarchive updated try glibc recompile and try again... probably that fix it.
I think lots of things should need recompile for all of us...

Me and @slackernetuk can also confirm this with recompiling of Flatpak 1.14.1 today.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ARCHIVE_CFLAGS
and ARCHIVE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I run into this trying to build gnome-autoar on the new libarchive as well.

There's an open pull request to fix this in libarchive here: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1813

And some relevant discussion on a slightly older pull request: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1812

Also virt-manager fail

I just tested on my VM (Slackware 15) not yet updated with libarchive 3.6.2
virt-manager builds fine

reddog83 · 12-10-2022, 05:53 PM

@marav u have version 3.6.1 on ur system then?

Thanks to Didier Spaier on Sbo mailing list:

I missed OXBF post ...

phalange · 12-10-2022, 10:00 PM

3.6.2 doesn't fix it. The PR for (what appears to be) the patch for libarchive is still open.

Daedra · 12-10-2022, 11:46 PM

I applied the patches in the above link and recompiled libarchive. This fixed compiling appstream-glib for me. So based on my testing the above pull request does solve this problem.

lancsuk · 12-11-2022, 01:48 AM

It works for me....I was able to build fwupd and flatpak

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.
