Hello James,

I did consider the questions you asked and I solved the problem by reinstalling package 'file' and then its dependencies : libc6 libmagic1 zlib1g . Maybe only one was faulty but it is so quick and painless to do...

It was a system wide problem and not a gerbera bug. Maybe one file from libmagic1 was corrupted...

You can close the bug now !

Thank you for your help and for your contribution to Debian. We use Gerbera almost every day to watch educationnal TV shows on our TV. It is a great piece of software !

Best regards

Jean-Louis

Dear Maintainer,

Hello, I use gerbera for a long time and recently, the server failed and fails  
to restart every 5 seconds.
No valuable information in log file. The package is fully unusable.

Same problem after purge and reinstall. I guess the best information is the 
following line that apperas once in the log file at machine startup :

Sep 25 19:21:51 mercury gerbera[1178]: /usr/bin/gerbera: 
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `' not found (required by 
/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libmagic.so.1)
That is a very strange error indicating that ld.so failed to load
gerbera before any code was executed.

Does running "gerbera --version" outside systemd work?
Does running "file" on something work?

Are you running a system with usrmerge enabled (ie is /lib a symlink to
/usr/lib)?

James
