Description Marco Rebhan 2025-01-26 19:43:20 UTC

This causes a crash on startup in net-irc/quassel and a crash in kde-apps/dolphin when hovering over the activities context menu on a file. (see attached logs)

Both use qtsql (5 and 6 respectively), so the issue may also be in that package.

Comment 4 Marco Rebhan 2025-03-01 22:16:52 UTC

I figured out what this is actually caused by. It's caused by app-crypt/heimdal.

heimdal builds libheimsqlite3.so which ends up getting linked into applications along with the real sqlite3 when they link to libkrb5, leading to conflicting symbols.

related: https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/issues/1142

This is clearly unintended since the Heimdal ebuild already passes --with-sqlite3="${EPREFIX}"/usr to configure, but the configure script detects it as not present.

A workaround is setting EXTRA_ECONF="--with-sqlite3-lib=/usr/lib64/libsqlite3.so --with-sqlite3-headers=/usr/include" when building Heimdal.
