Oops.
zypper: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
Not good.
As Carlos said: It would be good to know (how/why) what changed.
Something like 'less /root/.bash_history' (as root) might help retrace your
steps?
Now, yast won't start (dbus error), zypper won't start.
Not entirely surprising, in that both probably need libzypp.so.NNN which is
not found.
Looking at
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/libzypp-6.21.2-1.1.1.i586.rpm
with Konqueror's embedded KRPMview, we see that it contains libzypp.so.619
This tells us that 'zypper' most likely is the version which is contained on
the install medium - since it's referencing the libzypp version from the
install medium.
It *might* also indicate that 'libzypp' was updated - since that would have
replaced /usr/lib/libzypp.so.619 with (f.x.) /usr/lib/libzypp.so.631 (as is
the case on my system which has been updated more or less continuously)
I suppose I
might manually copy the library, if I knew where to get it and where to
put it.
Manually copying individual library files onto the system as almost
certainly not a good idea. Manually upgrading packages, however, might be.
Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling suse?
Reinstalling shouldn't be neccessary. But now might be a good time to backup
whatever you have on there, in case any of the things I'm about to suggest
make matters any worse ;)
(In this next bit I'm just assuming the architechture is i586, so substitute
x86_64 if neccessary)
The first thing I'd suggest is to find out which version of libzypp is
actually present on the system:
rpm -q libzypp
and
ll /usr/lib/libzypp.so*
should tell us that.
Next:
Depending on the outcome of the above (which I'm guessing will be that
libzypp *is* present, but newer than the version from the install medium) -
I would probably suggest to upgrade zypper, yast, et al. to a consistent
'level'.
This would entail something like:
mkdir -p /tmp/packages
Then download individual rpms from:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.2/rpm/i586/
to /tmp/packages
The reason for using a directory is that you can then use:
rpm --test -Uvh /tmp/packages/*
- which will let rpm figure out the order to upgrade the rpms present in
/tmp/packages
As for which rpms to download:
Well, it may take some iterations to get the dependencies sorted out, but
it's probably going to be something on the order of:
jon@nx8220:~> rpm -q --whatrequires libzypp
zypper-1.3.4-0.1.3.i586
yast2-qt-pkg-2.18.22-1.1.1.i586
libqdialogsolver1-1.3.0-2.12.1.i586
yast2-pkg-bindings-2.18.11-1.3.1.i586
Initially though, just try with zypper-<version>.rpm, run the rpm command,
and see what happens.
Once rpm stops complaining about dependencies, you should be good to run the
command without '--test', to actually install/upgrade the packages.
I do
have the opensuse ISO's on my hard drive, but since I haven't downloaded
Krusader since going to 11.2, I don't know how to get into it. Even if
the .619 version is there.
the way to 'access' a local iso is by 'loop mounting' it, as in:
mount -o loop /path/to/name-of.iso /mnt/
But downgrading to the versions on the iso might bring a whole other set of
complications, so if at all possible I would go for updating instead.
Keep in mind that I'm a fairly advanced _user_ with no more SA skills
than one learns by watching and asking questions on this list (embedded
systems engineer -- wasn't even sure what "systems administrator" meant
until subscribing here :-).
you will definitely want to have a look at 'rpm --help' and 'man rpm' before
and during the above... ;)
