Epiphany Technology Preview: error while loading shared libraries: libdw.so.1: cannot open shared object file

I did "flatpak update -y" today. Then Epiphany Technology Preview doesn't start up.

I can't find 'epiphany' product to file a new bug in Gnome bugzilla. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi
So, I filed in this bugziila.

Tropera told me
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/issues

I should file a bug into it.


  Epiphany nightly throws an error while loading libicuuc.so.61 on ubuntu (#59) · Issues · GNOME / Epiphany · GitLab
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/issues/59

Looks a similar issue.

Here's fine

[Michael Catanzaro]

Workaround is to downgrade:

$ sudo ostree --repo=/var/lib/flatpak/repo pull --depth=250 --commit-metadata-only org.gnome.Epiphany-origin app/org.gnome.Epiphany/x86_64/master
$ sudo flatpak update --commit=d207851cd549044d21d547a1c80cfc95f651774210346f5c1b22fe645e3594f0 org.gnome.Epiphany

$ sudo ostree --repo=/var/lib/flatpak/repo pull --depth=250 --commit-metadata-only gnome-nightly runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/master
$ sudo flatpak update --commit=530f7d7e2a28111af5ca97c045cc2141dab445b0600eaa25b76b4647ea1fbc96 org.gnome.Platform

The bug is actually in the runtime, but once that is fixed, it still fails to start due to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/issues/64, so got to downgrade Epiphany too.

Shame that there is no CI to prevent broken builds from going out. :/

[Michael Catanzaro]

libdw.so is in org.gnome.Sdk rather than org.gnome.Platform. As it probably should be. This is a weird dependency and I'm not sure where it came from.

[Michael Catanzaro]

Guessing it's caused by https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/commit/65933074530e81ed7ec95008b9bd27cd3eeb52af

[Michael Catanzaro]

Last good version of org.gnome.Platform is ac1bddfd0ea06cb6429a103ccfe1da5025358a6c908f0c9f2fc5dbb637160d3b (Monday, July 9) and the first bad version is 4922447164197d151ac86e7fd032399a8eb6dc3f1e2279006948d107776435b8 (Tuesday, July 10).

[Michael Catanzaro]

(So it's definitely not caused by adding elfutils.)

We'll track it in https://gitlab.com/freedesktop-sdk/freedesktop-sdk/issues/223

The Epiphany-level bug is fixed, so the above portion of the workaround is no longer required.

The following portion of the workaround is still required, until we get a successful runtime build:
 
$ sudo ostree --repo=/var/lib/flatpak/repo pull --depth=250 --commit-metadata-only gnome-nightly runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/master
$ sudo flatpak update --commit=530f7d7e2a28111af5ca97c045cc2141dab445b0600eaa25b76b4647ea1fbc96 org.gnome.Platform

[Andres Gomez Garcia]

Or, if you have everything installed as user and not system-wide:

$ ostree --repo=$HOME/.local/share/flatpak/repo/ pull --depth=250 --commit-metadata-only gnome-nightly runtime/org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/master
$ flatpak --user update --commit=530f7d7e2a28111af5ca97c045cc2141dab445b0600eaa25b76b4647ea1fbc96 org.gnome.Platform

[Michael Catanzaro]

I managed to get a successful runtime build, but it doesn't seem to be available yet. Perhaps tomorrow....

[Michael Catanzaro]

Fixed today
