The `skype-call-recorder' package in the `community' repository simply

The current binary fails to run because it cannot load `libpng12'

Hello there. :)
It appears that you are using a package of skype-call-recorder built
from the AUR before skype-call-recorder was moved to [community] and
also before --as-needed was added to our LDFLAGS.
We had a libpng rebuild at the beginning of this year, but
skype-call-recorder wasn't in the list because it was built with
--as-needed and as such, it didn't depend on libpng directly (which is a
dependency of Qt).
Quite a tricky timing issue. If --as-needed was introduced either before
you built the package from the AUR or after the libpng rebuild was
complete, it wouldn't have occurred. Well, I guess I could have bumped
the pkgrel during the move to [community], but it didn't occur to me. :P
Since you've already rebuilt the package, the issue should be resolved.
Otherwise, you could do a `pacman -S skype-call-recorder' to remedy that.

The following may be of interest to the developer of
skype-call-recorder (who has been added to the Bcc list out of respect
for a seemingly keen interest for remaining private).
Interestingly, after rebuilding skype-call-recorder, the output of
this command (which gives the direct shared library dependencies):
readelf -d `which skype-call-recorder` | awk -F'[][]' '/NEEDED/ {print $2}'
went from this:
libmp3lame.so.0
libid3-3.8.so.3
libvorbisenc.so.2
libQtGui.so.4
libpng12.so.0
libSM.so.6
libICE.so.6
libXrender.so.1
libfreetype.so.6
libfontconfig.so.1
libXext.so.6
libX11.so.6
libQtDBus.so.4

libgthread-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
librt.so.1
libpthread.so.0
libdl.so.2
libstdc++.so.6
libm.so.6
libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6
libvorbis.so.0
libogg.so.0
to this:
libmp3lame.so.0
libid3-3.8.so.3
libvorbisenc.so.2
libQtGui.so.4
libQtDBus.so.4
libQtNetwork.so.4
libQtCore.so.4
libstdc++.so.6
libm.so.6
libgcc_s.so.1
libc.so.6
libvorbis.so.0
libogg.so.0
This is thanks to the --as-needed flag that is passed to the linker (see
the LDFLAGS variable in /etc/makepkg.conf).
More interesting is that even some of these aren't actually direct
dependencies; the output of this command:
ldd -u `which skype-call-recorder`
is this:
Unused direct dependencies:
/usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0
/usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3
/usr/lib/libvorbisenc.so.2
/usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4
/lib/libm.so.6
/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
/lib/libc.so.6
/usr/lib/libvorbis.so.0
For instance, I imagine that `libc' is listed as unused because
skype-call-recorder is actually a C++ program that only depends
directly on `libstdc++'.
Perhaps the commands used to build skype-call-recorder can be cleaned up.
No idea why that is the case. :P
Sincerely,
Michael Witten
