Bug ID: 401051 Summary: Kate won't launch due to missing symbol _ZNK18KCompressionDevice5errorEv in libKF5TextEditor.so.5 Product: kate Version: unspecified Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: crash Priority: NOR Component: application Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: wendefelix1...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Kate won't due to a missing symbol. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start kate OBSERVED RESULT Kate doesn't launch When launching from cosole the following error appears: kate: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libKF5TextEditor.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZNK18KCompressionDevice5errorEv Kate then immediately with exit code 127. EXPECTED RESULT Kate launches SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 4.18.18-1-MANJARO/5.14.3 KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.52.0 Qt Version: 5.11.2 Kate Version: 18.08.3-1 Ktexteditor Version: 5.52.0-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The error persists for some months already but I simply thought this will get fixed soon. I reinstalled the package of the failing shared-object (which is ktexteditor) as well as kate itself. Didn't help. I also noticed that, when i downgrade ktexteditor to 5.35.0-1, I instead get this error: kate: error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.25: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So there seems to be some problem with the versioning. I checked all versions regarding this and it seems that kate gets a never version than intended. $ ls -la /usr/lib/libKF5TextEditor* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 7.
