[SOLVED] ffmpeg stopped working on my slckware current installation.

I get the following error message:

"ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libtalloc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

libtalloc.so.2 is in the /usr/lib64/ directory and it is present. It might have stopped working after the last update yesterday.

Are you building your own ffmpeg? In which case you should rebuild it.

No, it's from the slackware current repository.

I think you forgot to install the new talloc package.

Yeah, that fixed it.

In the future this upgrade procedure will help avoid issues like this. Please be warned that you should maintain your slackpkg blacklist file so it does not remove all your SBo or other packages that are not included in a default full install.

Code:

slackpkg update
slackpkg install-new
slackpkg upgrade-all
slackpkg clean-system
