Hello.
Today I started some ports' upgrade and icu went from 50.1.2 to 52.1.
As soon as this happened, lots of applications are not working anymore.
E.G.
% firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
Shared object "libicui18n.so.50" not found, required by "libxul.so"
Couldn't load XPCOM.
While everything is recompiling (which will take several hours, since at
least FireFox, ThunderBird and LibreOffice, among others, are affected),
I am left wondering what went wrong: usually backup libraries are kept
in /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg...
So:
# cd /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/
# ls |grep icu
libicudata.so.50.1.2
libicui18n.so.50.1.2
libicuio.so.50.1.2
libicule.so.50.1.2
libiculx.so.50.1.2
libicutest.so.50.1.2
libicutu.so.50.1.2
libicuuc.so.50.1.2
I have an idea:
# ln -s libicui18n.so.50.1.2 libicui18n.so.50
Now:
% firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/lib/firefox/libxul.so:
Shared object "libicuuc.so.50" not found, required by "libxul.so"
Couldn't load XPCOM.
Hmmm... so, to make it short:
# ln -s libicudata.so.50.1.2 libicu
# ln -s libicudata.so.50.1.2 libicudata.so.50
and Firefox and LibreOffice are starting again.
Hope this can help someone.
OTOH I would have expected this to happen automatically; shouldn't it?
bye & Thanks
av.
P.S.
