Details
Description:
Programs using ghc-libs (e.g., ghc, cabal) no longer run after the recent upgrade of libffi. Running, e.g., `cabal update` results in the following error: cabal: error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory A similar error message is printed about libffi.so.7 when running `ghc`. libffi.so.8 is in the /usr/lib/ and is associated with the libffi package. There is no libffi.so.7 ('anymore', presumably). Additional info: * libffi version 3.4.2-4 * ghc-libs version 8.10.5-1 * cabal-install version 3.2.0.0-243 Steps to reproduce: 1. Invoke `cabal update` |
This task depends upon
Classic partial update. This one's on you, that version hasn't been current for over 4 months.
Edit: Ok, newer versions were only in testing until 15 days ago, so it's not 4 months. Still a partial update problem, though.
