[Bug 1875348] Re: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so)
I am not sure what the best approach would be, because indeed the soname can vary over time (although in this particular case I suspect it will change very seldom). Currently on Ubuntu 20.04 it is "libresolv.so.2". But it looks like the code in the ctypes wrapper would need rearchitecting quite a bit to take sonames into account. In any case, it is worth taking the discussion upstream, as their opinion would be valuable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875348 Title: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1875348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What would be the correct file name that you would distro patch into? Maybe this could be added to TB itself? After all, it is a list of files to check for. I would file that bug with TB if you could tell me what file you need. However, if it will change over time, ... probably not. I know this is also an issue for Mint. Maybe that would fix it for both? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875348 Title: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1875348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1875348] Re: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so)
That's a fair and valid point. I wonder what the best approach would be: add a runtime dependency on libc6-dev (which, from a packaging standpoint, doesn't sound right), or distro-patch the DNS code to look for the correct so file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875348 Title: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1875348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As it turned out, I AM already registered with this bugtracker. I just want to point out, that this is not limited to my add-on (TbSync). I am using a core feature which is also used by Thunderbird core itself. It is not just an add-on using ctypes module to load external libs. I am not using ctypes module myself and I am not loading any lib. I am using the core DNS API of Thunderbird. So I think the fix must be broader and not limited to TbSync. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1875348 Title: TbSync add-on needs a dependency on libc6-dev (for libresolv.so) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/1875348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
