Bug 404069 – net-misc/dropbox: remove binary libstdc++.so.6

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Tolga Dalman 2012-02-16 08:54:05 UTC]

Dropbox currently ships with a binary libstdc++.so.6 in /opt/dropbox. I get the following error:

------------
# dropbox start
Starting Dropbox...Done!
# /opt/dropbox/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libproxy.so.1)
Failed to load module: /usr/lib64/gio/modules/libgiolibproxy.so
-----------
The error occurs when playing with the nautilus-dropbox GUI elements.
Removing the file in question resolves the problem. Is there any reason to keep that cruft around ?


Reproducible: Always




I'm running x86-64 Gentoo

which version are you using?

Thanks!

Please confirm that your dropbox-1.2.51 still contains this lib. It should be removed.

I can confirm, that the file in question is not part of dropbox-1.2.51. However, as libstdc++.so.6 IS present in /opt/dropbox, it must be a leftover from a previous installation. I wonder, if there are other files from previous upgrades left ....

Here is a complete diff from /opt/dropbox:

So I don't know what is going wrong, but it is on your site. I cannot reproduce it. So please unemerge dropbox, remove the residuals and emerge it again.

Will do, thanks.
