Bug 730412 – =sys-apps/fwupd-1.3.10 with dev-libs/libgusb-0.3.4 - /usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd: undefined symbol: g_usb_version_string, version LIBGUSB_0.1.0

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Till Schäfer 2020-07-01 21:10:55 UTC]

fwupd fails to start with the error message after updating libgusb

/usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd: symbol lookup error: /usr/libexec/fwupd/fwupd: undefined symbol: g_usb_version_string, version LIBGUSB_0.1.0


I guess and update of libgusb should trigger a fwupd rebuild.

This looks to be an upstream mistake from https://github.com/hughsie/libgusb/issues/27, pending resolution at https://github.com/hughsie/libgusb/pull/33

[Comment 2 Marek Szuba 2022-07-27 13:13:56 UTC]

Problem presumably fixed upstream, please let us know if you observe it occurring in 1.8.3 or later.
