USM: /usr/lib/liblua.so symlink is not created.
Posted: 20 May 2015, 15:49
I tried installing Wireshark and got the following error when trying to run it.
Searching revealed that the liblua.so symlink is missing.
Inspecting lua-5.1.5-i486-1alien.tgz and lua-5.1.5-i486-1alien.xzm indicates that the /usr/lib/liblua.so.5 -> liblua.so.5.1.5 symlink is created by the tgz-xzm-convert utility.
A possible fix is for the tgz-xzm-convert utility to add the /usr/lib/liblua.so -> liblua.so.5 symlink.
Manually adding this symlink allows Wireshark to launch.
