Description:
The newest release of wireshark 1.2.1-1 will not run if the geoip package (1.4.6-1 as of this update) is installed, but the geoip package is not a dependency for wireshark.

Additional info:

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
Install wireshark 1.2.1-1 from pacman without geoip previously installed. Wireshark fails to run with a missing shared library (libGeoIP.so.1) until geoip is installed.

Let me fix the first line: The newest release of wireshark 1.2.1-1 will ONLY run if the geoip package (1.4.6-1 as of this update) is installed, but the geoip package is not a dependency for wireshark.

I can confirm that for x86_64.

I encountered the same problem.

I can also reproduce this.

# wireshark
# wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libGeoIP.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

doing

# pacman -S geoip

fixed the problem.

Added a quick fix to the PKGBUILD.

This is x86_64 only, right? Wireshark is running fine on my i686 system without geoip. Probably someone did not built this using chroot.

I'm on x86_64 btw.

I am almost sure that this was a problem on packaging wireshark for x86_64. Could someone confirm?
Comment by Daniel Riedemann (darie) - Wednesday, 12 August 2009, 20:03 GMT
I can only confirm this using my i686 chroot: With i686 there is no problem, with x86_64 wireshark complains about geoip.
So yes, wireshark for x86_64 was build with geoip enabled which is wrong. Please rebuild wireshark for x86_64.

I'm building it without geoip for x86_64
Comment by Hugo Doria (hdoria) - Thursday, 13 August 2009, 15:17 GMT
You need to build it under chroot. Wireshak can autodetect some libs installed on your system (libGeoIP, for example).
Comment by Giovanni Scafora (giovanni) - Thursday, 13 August 2009, 15:22 GMT
Sorry but at the moment I cannot build it under chroot.
If you want, now I can build it without geoip.
Let me know.

At the moment I cannot use that because I'm not at home...

Now that FS is online again I just wanted to remind you that this bug can be closed. Everything is fine now with the new package from Eric Belanger :-)
For more information please look at the arch-dev-public mailinglist.
