[p11-kit] needs rebuild against [libffi] (affects [paraview], [lxterminal], [emacs] and probably others)

Description
Paraview and others are not running:
$ paraview paraview: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ lxterminal lxterminal: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory $ emacs emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

paraview needs to be rebuilt against the new libffi.
paraview and libffi are both from Arch:
$ pacman -Si paraview libffi | grep -E "Repository|Name" Repository : community Name : paraview Repository : core Name : libffi
I cannot reproduce the error. After updating today, I have:
pacman -F libffi.so.7
core/libffi 3.3-3 [installed]
usr/lib/libffi.so.7
So updating should fix this for you as well, I guess?

sudo pacman -Sy :: Synchronizing package databases... nonprism is up to date kernels is up to date nonsystemd is up to date libre is up to date core is up to date extra is up to date community is up to date community-testing is up to date pcr is up to date libre-multilib is up to date pcr-multilib is up to date
pacman -Si core/libffi community/paraview
pacman -Si paraview libffi | grep -E "Repository|Name" Repository : community Name : paraview Repository : core Name : libffi
pacman -F libffie.so.7
(empty)
It seems that there is something else going on, because my repositories seem updated, yet I still have the same libffie.so.6 . Thanks.

It's because the Nonsystemd version of p11-kit needs to be rebuilt against libffi 3.3. It's a core library so it breaks things that seem unrelated. network-manager-applet wouldn't launch for me and the new nss update wasn't generating the certificate stores properly, both complaining about libffi. This is also why it's not always reproducible, because it only affects OpenRC users.
I'm not a Parabola maintainer or anything, but rebuilding p11-kit did fix every issue on my end, so that's the theory I'm sticking with.

This is affecting a lot more applications than I expected:
$ lxterminal lxterminal: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ emacs emacs: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
To make sure, I downloaded this: [[https://www.parabola.nu/packages/core/x86_64/libffi/]]. Downgrading libffi told me that libffi.so.7 was not found
This is me: ??? Take away the cocaine, but leave my Emacs, please :D .

That's what I'll try. Thanks!

Nice to hear. I adopted the subject of this thread to reflect this information.

in the future, you can use `lddtree` to figure out where in the tree of shared libraries the breakage occurs.

p11-kit 0.23.20-5.nonsystemd1 fixed this for me - please write back if anyone still has this problem
Updated by doolio almost 4 years ago
On my i686 install it uses systemd so I presume this library from the nonsystemd repo can not be used by me. My up-to-date system has p11-kit 0.23.20-4.0 from core so I trust I can expect to see p11-kit 0.23.20-5 in core soon? Thanks for your time and Parabola.

doolio -
you are correct that the nonsystemd package is not important for you - you have the up-to-date version of p11-kit for i686
p11-kit 0.23.20-5.0 is in i686/staging - it will be in core soon; but that should not be important to you either, unless some program that you use is broken - is any program on your system broken because of this?
BTW - you asked this same question yesterday on the icecat ticket; and i gave you the same answer yesterday; and i also asked yesterday, if icecat was broken for you; but you did not respond

Ok, understood. Ah, sorry about posting twice. I've just signed up and when I made the other post I wasn't sure if it got posted at all as I was also creating a post for a package request and a message stated it could not be posted as my account was too new to prevent spam. I'll respond to the other ticket now. Thanks again.
