Re: libdb.so.3: Potato-Woody
dont worry, it's not that bad. i found out when i switched from potato-woody that sometimes you just have to softlink the missing files to existing (possibly with lower version-numbers) files... or sometimes do a 'dpkg -x package /' if it still wouldnt want to install. oh yeah, dont forget to run ldconfig when you've created new links to libraries. greetz (--[ on Tuesday 21 August 2001 11:10, P Kirk bothered us with ]:: ^ perl: error while loading shared libraries: libdb.so.3: cannot open shared ^ objec ^ t file: No such file or directory ^ ^ I've done a Google search and seen this come up a lot but can't find a fix. ^ ^ Is my system now broken beyond repair or is there a way to fix this? ^ Manually compile glibc perhaps? -- :---=::=: | L .

Good call! It is a broken symlink. enterprise:/home/patrick# ls -al /lib/libdb.so.3 lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 14 Aug 21 10:00 /lib/libdb.so.3 - libdb.so.3.old enterprise:/home/patrick# locate libdb.so.3.old enterprise:/home/patrick# So, what do I need to do to get a libdb.so.3.old to link to?
Re: Re: Re: libdb.so.3: Potato-Woody
the trick i did was: i check /lib/ for any libdb* and then just symlinked the one with the highest version to /lib/libdb.so.3 (maybe do ln -s /lib/libdb.so.2 /lib/libdb.so.3 ), i ran ldconfig, and it worked... hope this will help...

Re: libdb.so.3: Potato-Woody
get the updated libdb2. apt-get install libdb2. This was supposed to be fixed by now, I guess that the change will take some time to propagate. dpkg/apt misprioritized things such that perl, which needed the new version of libdb2, was getting upgraded before libdb2.

And it works for me as well. Thanks Johnny!
