missing dependency libdb-5

[Moses Moore]

Seems that MOC needs a library that isn't in the package requirements.

Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo apt-get install moc
$ mocp

Expected result:
MOC client starts

Seen result:
"mocp: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Other information:
$ ldd `which mocp` |grep 'not found'
libdb-5.1.so => not found

Workaround:
$ sudo apt-get install libdb5.1

I've startet 14.04.2 live stick and can't reproduce?

$ ldd `which mocp` | grep libdb
libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so (0x00007f6fa5ddc000)

The package is always build against libdb-dev which makes sure the binary loads the realted lib.

BTW there is 2.5.0 available.

The stick you used probably has libdb5.1 installed because it's a dependency of some other packaage.

The point is, it's not a dependency of *this* package. And it should be, because the software won't run without it.

And I do have 2.5.0 installed, which you'd see if you read the original bug report.

Hmm I see:
...
Package: moc 1:2.5.0~beta1+svn20131120-1
...

which is a bit old. Think you should upgrade to at least 14.04 LTS2

Check out:

$ apt-cache show moc

and you'll find libdb($VERSION) in the Depends section.

[Moses Moore (moses-ubuntu)]

I'm already at LTS 2

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS \n \l

And checking apt-cache show moc I see
Depends: libasound2 (>= 1.0.16), libc6 (>= 2.15), libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.16.2), libdb5.3,

But:
$ ldd `which mocp` |grep libdb
 libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so (0xb716f000)
 libdb-5.1.so => not found

So it's linked to a verison of libdb that isn't in the 'Depends:' line of the package.

$ lsb_release -a would be the correct way to grep your Ubuntu
version. Anyway

Could you please try as follows:

# apt-get remove --purge moc
# apt-get autoremove
# apt-get install moc

And check again?

Thanks

wait hangon that might've been *.deb files from my local cache, since I've been installing and uninstalling the package for the past few days. I should've run `apt-get clean` first to make sure I download fresh *.deb files from the repositories.

Hmm,

Sorry, but I can't reproduce this on a fresh 14.04.2 install on
amd64 :-( Maybe the Ubuntu packages for i386 have to be rebuild? I
am not an Ubuntu developer, though.

Elimar

[Moses Moore (moses-ubuntu)]

I already said before: the fresh install you have probably brought in libdb5.1 from another package.

The problem isn't whether libdb-5.1.so exists -- the problem is that mocp needs it, but it isn't one of the package dependencies.

On your "new Ubuntu 14.04 stick", I'd like you to try this:

$ ldd `which mocp` |grep libdb5.1

If you get a result, then mocp depends on libdb5.1. Next, try removing libdb5.1 (don't actually remove it)

$ sudo apt-get remove $(dpkg -S libdb-5.1.so |cut -d':' -f1)

The output from this attempt to remove libdb-5.1 *should* mention that it will also remove 'moc,' because mocp needs it and mocp comes from package 'moc'.
If it doesn't say that it will remove 'moc', then it's possible to install 'moc' even when one of the necessary libraries is missing.

The fix would be to update the package's "Depends:" info to include libdb5.1 . If you aren't an Ubuntu developer, at least you are an Ubuntu package maintainer, so you should know how to do this (if you are certain that it is necessary).

[Moses Moore (moses-ubuntu)]

I went to check in the repository for other versions of moc, and in http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/m/moc/ I found moc_2.5.0~beta1+svn20131120-1_i386.deb (27-Nov-2013) , which is what apt-get installs (see comment #9 above where I do a full purge, clean, and re-get), but in the same folder I see moc_2.5.0-1_i386.deb (26-Oct-2014).

Maybe this problem is already fixed in 2.5.0-1 ... but for some reason apt-get for Ubuntu 14.04.2 i386 isn't fetching this latest version?

# dpkg -l moc
ii moc 1:2.5.0-1 i386 ncurses based console audio playe
# ldd `which mocp` |grep libdb
 libdb-5.3.so => /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdb-5.3.so (0xb713d000)
 libdb-5.1.so => not found

... nope, still the same problem of the package not asking for libdb5.1 as a dependency, even in 2.5.0-1 (which somehow isn't the version used by 14.04.2 ?)

Nope.

My system:
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

$ dpkg -l | grep libdb5
ii libdb5.3:amd64 5.3.28-3ubuntu3

$ dpkg -l | grep moc
ii moc 1:2.5.0~beta1+svn201311

and mocp plays very well!

No, mocp is build against libdb-dev. As far as the API doesn't
change it works with whatever libd version libddb-dev'a Api points
to.

> On your "new Ubuntu 14.04 stick", I'd like you to try this:

As you can realize on my system no libdb5.1 is installed.

Doesn't make sense as it is not installed

> The output from this attempt to remove libdb-5.1 *should* mention that it will also remove 'moc,' because mocp needs it and mocp comes from package 'moc'.

No, as said before it works with all versions libdb-dev provides
with it's API.

Of course I knwow this very well, as I am maintaining moc since
Sun, 14 Nov 2004. Check out

$ apt-get changelog moc

And scroll to the last line, though. And I know many, many
characters of bug posters......

Is that supposed to be an insult? Please don't do that.

I see that your amd64 build of moc doesn't depend on libdb5.1. And yet I've grabbed the latest i386 build of moc (2.5.0-1) from the Ubuntu repository, and this does depend on libdb5.1

I have another Ubuntu machine, this one 64-bit

$ uname -a
Linux equius 2.6.32-042stab102.9 #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 20:34:40 MSK 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

.... hm. Still not getting moc 2.0.5-1 from the repository but the 2.5.0~beta1 instead.
But this 64-bit package doesn't have the dependency, so it matches what you saw.

I'll need to find another 32-bit machine to test further.

Something else occurred to me: maybe there's another library (a 32-bit library?) that's linking in libdb5.1, so it appears in the output of `ldd`. If that's the case, then I need to move this bug report to the other package.
