Bug 470936 – app-admin/webalizer-2.23.05 with dev-libs/geoip-1.5.0 - /usr/bin/webalizer: Symbol `GeoIPDBDescription' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christophe PEREZ 2013-05-22 03:37:20 UTC]

After updating dev-libs/geoip from 1.4.8-r3 to 1.5.0, I now have an error with webalizer :
# /usr/bin/webalizer -Q -c /etc/webalizer/novazur.fr.conf 
/usr/bin/webalizer: Symbol `GeoIPDBDescription' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

Reproducible: Always

Hm, did upstream forget to bump the SONAME?

[Comment 2 Christophe PEREZ 2013-07-01 15:03:21 UTC]

updating to 1.5.1 didn't change anything.
I'll mask * > 1.5

[Comment 3 Anthony Basile 2013-07-01 19:30:23 UTC]

there is nothing for webalizer to do here, the problem is in geoip.  I can look at it, but just to be clear, it should be assigned to [e-mail]

Did you actually rebuild webalizer yet? :)

I have had the exact same problem and rebuilding Webalizer solved it.

I think the ebuild of dev-libs/geoip should have a comment that rebuilding eg. webalizer is necessary or better yet force rebuilding of webalizer.

See URL, "We decided against changing the soname."

1.6.0 is now stable and we still haven't seen a SONAME update.
