Latest Rolling Full system upgrades Broke Haskell dependencies

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)

I am a newbie to Garuda Linux and am on Mokka KDE Desktop environment for about a month now.

Since the latest full system upgrade, am afraid, am seeing some haskell dependencies knocked out, which is causing some of the packages to not work anymore. First, here is my garuda-inxi output:

Whenever I now execute garuda-update, I prominently see this showing up in failed dependencies:

( 5/10) Updating initramfs...

So, one of the packages I use wkhtmltopdf is now failing with an error message like this:

wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I even issued

sudo pacman -S libxml2

And even that does not fix it.

So this is pretty much happening with the latest massive upgrade.

Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

These are all AUR packages, including:

You need to run

garuda-update -a

Thank you very much for your pointers. I did run

garuda-update -a

And this time, I did see that AUR update tried to locate the problematic haskell-data-array-byte, which is where the dependency breakdown has occurred. However, the update process reports that that package does not exist in AUR anymore.

Thatā€™s right, the package no longer exists. If you havenā€™t removed it yet, do it now:

sudo pacman -R haskell-data-array-byte

Thank you. I did just that and that is removed.

Still the underlying issue that was broken persists:

wkhtmltopdf --version
wkhtmltopdf: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What baffles me is libxml2 is part of core utils. I reinstalled it.

Also went ahead and installed via Octopi two other packages haskell-libxml and haskell-libxml-sax, but still to no avail.

Stil flummoxed as to why error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory keeps surfacing.

Sincerely appreciate your inputs. Great community! Thank you.

No, the package is libxml2 and the repository is core (this has nothing to do with the coreutils package).

wkhtmltopdf is up to date (version 0.12.6-3)? If yes, then this is because libxml2 has been updated and provides a new version of libxml2.so.x - wkhtmltopdf requires the previous version of libxml2. I advise you not to downgrade libxml2, too many packages depend on it. Just wait until an updated version of wkhtmltopdf is available.

Wow! Thank you so much, once again, for such a pellucid clarification which goes beyond what I was looking for. This is so edifying, being new to Arch (Garuda). Much appreciated.

8

It is. A resounding yes to version 0.12.6-3. Yes.

9

Then:

Or, if you do not need wkhtmltopdf, simply uninstall it. Or you can look for an alternative application if you need it for your use case.

Thank you. I will wait, as my scripts rely on wkhtmltopdf extensively and usually it is a nifty, reliable piece of tool and so I will wait. I have a couple of other KDE Plasmas under Fedora where it still works and so am good for the time-being until this hopefully gets fixed.
