[gentoo-user] libssl3.so.12 not found, but why not?

[walt]

Two days ago after updating world on my ~amd64, at least two apps
can't find libssl.so.12 even though it's right where it should be.

One difference I find between my working x86 and my broken ~amd64
is the output of ldconfig -p:

x86 machine:
#ldconfig -p | grep ssl3.so
  libssl3.so.12 (libc6) => /usr/lib/nss/libssl3.so.12 <== minor number
  libssl3.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/nss/libssl3.so

~amd64 machine:
#ldconfig -p | grep ssl3.do
  libssl3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/nss/libssl3.so
  libssl3.so (libc6) => /opt/flash-libcompat/libssl3.so

Note that the minor number (.12) doesn't show up even though there
is a correct and proper symlink for it in /usr/lib64/nss.

Another source of confusion for me is that the programs that need
libssl3.so.12 are both linked against libssl3.so (no minor number)
but the error message specifically says that libssl3.so.12 can't be
found.

Can anyone here make sense out of this info?

Thanks!

Not really, but I've seen this on my box at work today. The interesting thing 
here was that for the affected program, evolution, libssl3.so showed up four 
times in ldd output, where three entries showed "not found" while the forth 
showed the location of the lib.

Interestingly, setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/nss resolved the issue.

Bye...

I also recompiled evolution and gnome-panel (those were the two apps
that were broken) but they both depend on evolution-data-server, and
recompiling that finally fixed it.

Now, the next question is why didn't revdep-rebuild fix it first?

I'm on ~amd64:
# ldconfig -p | grep ssl3
libssl3.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib64/nss/libssl3.so

I guess you've got some 32-bit flash plugin installed? I'm using
64-bit browsers and flash plugin.

Hi,

I'm using ~x86 and the following fixed the issue for me :

revdep-rebuild --library libnss3.so.12

Interesting, thanks.  Did you happen to try just plain revdep-rebuild before
adding the --library flag?  I'm wondering if that flag actually does something
more than plain revdep-rebuild.  Anyone know for sure?

I did try the plain revdep-rebuild first and it showed nothing to be
done. What was interesting (at least to me) was that ldd was showing the
libnss3.so.12 twice, once found and the other not found.

The explanation is that after upgrading to nss-2.12.4, the soname in the
library changed from libssl3.so.12 to just libssl.so, so the loader (and
ldd) did not use it to resolve the dependency on libssl3.so.12 in the
applications. Bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=285062
explains it in more detail.
