After recently upgrading two systems with mysql-workbench 8.0.18 and 8.0.19 installed, the workbench fails to connect to any host, complaining about a missing libmysqlclient_r.so. 17:24:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SqlEditorForm: exception in do_connect method: Exception: Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 17:24:19 [ERR][ GRTDispatcher]: exception in grt execute_task, continuing: Exception: Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 17:24:19 [ERR][ GRTDispatcher]: worker: task 'execute sql queries' has failed with error:.Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 17:24:19 [ERR][ WQE backend]: Got an exception during connection: Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 17:24:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: SQL editor could not be connected: Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 17:24:19 [ERR][SQL Editor Form]: Your connection attempt failed for user '**' to the MySQL server at dbc01.**.net:3306: Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There was no libmysqlclient_r.so present on the system before the @world upgrade and as far as I can see, no package even provides that anymore. Linking /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so to libmysqlclient_r.so "fixes" the issue, but it shouldn't be required as workbench worked fine before. Reproducible: Always

I can't reproduce this issue. Which versions of mysql-connector-c and mysql-connector-c++ do you have installed?
mysql-connector-c++ is on both systems with this same problem at 8.0.19. mysql-connector-c is on one system 8.0.19, on the other it's still 6.1.11-r (it hasn't been upgraded for a while because on that system it has a package conflict)
Downgrading mysql-connector-c++ from 8.0.19 back to previous version 1.1.12-r1 resolves the issue.
Confirming this, downgrade also helps here. The app starts ok with either library but fails to connect to server with newer version of the library.
I experience the same issue, the application starts fine, but when connecting to any database it fails with this error: "Couldn't load library libmysqlclient_r.so: libmysqlclient_r.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Downgrading "dev-db/mysql-connector-c++" to "1.1.12-r1" and restarting the application resolved the issue.
I can confirm these issues. I will lock mysql-workbench to the 1.x version for the current versions to avoid these runtime issues.

There is a simple workaround for >=dev-db/mysql-connector-c++-8.x.x: ln -sv /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so and mysql-workbench works again without any problems, but I don't have any ideas, how to deal this with packaging

This really needs to be fixed upstream.

Is this still needed for 8.0.27? It is preventing cleanup.
(In reply to Andreas Sturmlechner from comment #12) > Is this still needed for 8.0.27? It is preventing cleanup. Yes. It looks like this is actually an issue in mysql-connector-c++ itself.
