Bug 432236 – mail-client/thunderbird-bin - missing media-libs/libpng:1.2 dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description rking 2012-08-21 19:22:50 UTC]

thunderbird was crashing a lot, saying:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 667: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

When I did a strace -e open thunderbird-bin, I found these lines immediately before the dl-open crash:

open("/lib64/libpng12.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib64/libpng12.so.0", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

emerge libpng:1.2 fixed my problem.

Perhaps there should be a dependency on libpng:1.2?


For what it's worth, I already had libpng-1.5 installed, which I see thunderbird (not -bin) depends on.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Didn't try

What version of thunderbird-bin? Is this still happening?

current 17.0.5 appears to link to 1.5

zero@ozzie thunderbird-bin % lddtree /opt/thunderbird/*.so | grep png                        
        libpng15.so.15 => /usr/lib64/libpng15.so.15


I'll fix the dep to lock to that.
