USM: /usr/lib/liblua.so symlink is not created.

[go2null]

I tried installing Wireshark and got the following error when trying to run it.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/home/guest# wireshark &
[1] 11087
root@porteus:/home/guest# wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: liblua.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[1]+  Exit 127                wireshark

Searching revealed that the liblua.so symlink is missing.

Code: Select all

root@porteus:/usr/lib# find /usr -name 'liblua.so*' 2>/dev/null -ls
 94556    0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           15 May 17 12:17 /usr/lib/liblua.so.5 -> liblua.so.5.1.5

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.
