Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It seems that your bug report is not filed about a specific source package though, rather it is just filed against Ubuntu in general. It is important that bug reports be filed about source packages so that people interested in the package can find the bugs about it. You can find some hints about determining what package your bug might be about at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. You might also ask for help in the #ubuntu-bugs irc channel on Freenode.

Confirmed. You can workaround the issue right now with this command:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23.1-system.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23-system.so

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 and I don't have a /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23.1-system.so on my system. I have a /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23.2-system.so, so I ran:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23.2-system.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23-system.so

and now grive is working again.

Same issue here, but the workaround does not works (around) for me.

In ubuntu 13.04 this works for me:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23.2-system.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.23-system.so

The version that is available through the default repositories is out of date. It installs an earlier version (grive 0.2.0-1). You can update to a newer version which seems to free of any bugs:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
 $ sudo apt-get update
 $ sudo apt-get install grive

It will install 0.3.0-1+git20120806~webupd8~raring1 as of 7/2/2013.

The Bruno work around works in my ubuntu 13.04, 64 bits. (#3)

Running 14.10 with libbfd-2.24.90-system.20141014.so did the same thing - creating a symbolic link - and it works.

Error:

grive: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.24-system.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Solution:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24.90-system.20141014.so /usr/lib/libbfd-2.24-system.so

Cheers!
