Bug 78672 – pam_mysql-0.5 unresolved symbol with mysql-4.0.23-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Martin Carpella 2005-01-19 06:16:09 UTC]

After emerging mysql-4.0.23-r1 and recompiling pam_mysql and cyrus-sasl, any request to a mysql authenticated PAM results in:

Jan 19 13:34:22 [imap] unable to dlopen /usr/lib/sasl2/libsql.so.2: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jan 19 13:34:22 [saslauthd] PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_mysql.so)
Jan 19 13:34:22 [saslauthd] PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_mysql.so: undefined symbol: ERR_get_error_line_data
]
Jan 19 13:34:22 [saslauthd] PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_mysql.so

To confess, I don't know if it is really a pam_mysql issue, a cyrus-sasl issue or a MySQL issue.

As a matter of fact, pam_mysql started working again after downgrading MySQL to 4.0.22 and re-emerging pam_mysql. So I guess, it could also be a MySQL related problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade MySQL to MySQL-4.0.23-r1
2. re-emerge pam_mysql-0.5

Actual Results:  
pam_mysql-0.5 stopped working; invocation fails with:
[saslauthd] PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_mysql.so)
[saslauthd] PAM [dlerror: /lib/security/pam_mysql.so: undefined symbol:
ERR_get_error_line_data

Portage doesn't support reverse dependencies yet. `revdep-rebuild -p` should solve the issue.

No, it won

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-01-19 07:03:56 UTC]

No, it won´t. See Bug 78678 :-/

Indeed. Even if it's bump for security reasons - this shouldn't happen. :|
