[SOLVED] Should I upgrade mozilla-nss?

From times to times I track the missing deps of binary files running:

Code:

for i in $(find /usr/lib{,64} -name "*.so" -type f -executable) \
$(find /bin /usr/bin /sbin/ /usr/sbin -type f -executable); do
    if [ ! "$(ldd $i|grep found)" = "" ]; then
        echo $i
        ldd $i|grep found
    fi
done

Today the output includes:

Code:

    libmozavutil.so => not found

I am not that worried as these apps (all genuine Slackware package for Slackware64-14.2) seems to behave as expected. I assume that the missing so files mostly are for features I won't use (e.g. ldap), but I could be wrong.

However, should have worry about anything here? Especially, should I upgrade moszilla-nss, building the version shipped in Slackware64-current? Of course if I do that I'll run the script after having upgraded to check if anything is unhappy with the new version, but is upgrading really necessary? The installed package is mozilla-nss-3.40.1-x86_64-1_slack14.2.

Those aren't actually missing. If you look at the package list, you'll see that they're all contained in the packages.

My understanding is that the embedded versions of libxul.so set up an LD_LIBRARY_PATH making the other libraries available, but you won't see that testing externally with ldd or readelf -d.

Thanks Patrick. Next time I'll first look in packages lists.
