HELP - need to trace BROKEN LIB files ; GLIBC2.x not ....

[slackguy]

the usual answer is debian's ldd(1)

and i found broken things due to past lib abuses i previsouly hadn't undstood i'd did - or rather hadn't realized because by looking it "looked ok and worked" - but i had problems. many i fixed. after i ran a new script: it showed some i'd STILL missed after carefully re-doing /lib by hand (and using /var/lib/dpkg/info/libs.list to help)

i just made something that might be nice. seems to be the only thing that does it. but its' small and quick and has (tty/stdout) output still.

the had part isn't finding info, objdump(1) does that wonderfuly : it's using it

[slackguy]

on Debian linux, all files installed by wonderful pkg-depends knowing dpkg(1) keeps list of all installed files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/pkgnames.list

one can use (awk) to check that ONLY LIBS dpg installed are in libs dirs. anything else and ldconfig(1) may use it instead - and anything dpkg(1) didn't install might not be complete (may have missing lib files not on system)

(or not at least not on the path /etc/ld.so.conf or LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

(if you use the bash env you can change the order and sight of which libs ld.so loads: you can test libs by putting a set in an experimental directory and applying LD_LIBRARY_PATH to just that shell - that way if the lib set is broken: you only loose one terminal and do not need a rescue disk !!)

[slackguy]

this is NEW . not ldd, does things very differently

should show total dependancy table of what ldconfig(1) will load (or has already loaded) and show which libs are NOT_FOUND (ie, no version or file) and then also what is effected. jury is still out if it's information is "better" - too new - but it defnitely shows things ldd doesn't, and quick, and shell compatible: and for input it gets, kinda high tech.

try it, enjoy. it's very new so don't say i didn't tell you. it did just find some things below i didn't know about my lib system - i'm just about to go fix that.
libdeps objdump -h

(dep-trace is needed, depsort script too, are the the URL ^^. libdeps uses objdump(1) -> dt -> makes a table of each and all deps+rdeps, formats/markup, shows - quickly)

Experimental - see help libdeps [objdump | ldd] [-l | file] -l use find *.so is used on ldconfig dirs file one file.so per line snip...
libdeps objdump -d

Will you go for the next 20 posts in one hour marathon today?
In that case i will come back in two days.
