[SOLVED]kea fails to start due dependency boost 1.78 package

Postby mcloaked » Fri Jun 17, 2022 6:15 pm

The boost package updated from 1.78 to 1.79 and this causes the various kea component services to fail to start since kea still depends on boost 1.78.

In the journal typical error message is:

Jun 17 18:42:02 rock64 kea-dhcp4[362]: /usr/bin/kea-dhcp4: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.78.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

So it is necessary down downgrade the boost and boost-libs package back to 1.78 in order for kea-dhcpe4 and kea-ctrl-agent to run, and that will remain the case until the kea package is updated to depend on boost 1.79.

Please update the kea package to depend on the current version of boost.

Re: kea fails to start as it depends on previous boost packa

It seems like its working with 1.79 libs too.

I symlinked the problem away with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'for x in $(ls libboost_*1.79.0); do ln -s $x "${x::-6}1.78.0"; done')

and made myself a note to clean this up "later" but yeah, update would be appreciated :)

Thanks and yes a temporary workaround with symlinks can be done but it would be better if the package was updated so that the workaround is not necessary. The arch linux x86_64 corresponding package was updated to 2.0.2-2 with the new dep, and works fine, so a rebuild with the changed dependency for current version of boost should be done. I don't know who the kea maintainer is, but perhaps a quick email to him/her might be useful if he/she isn't aware that this issue exists.

The kea package has now been updated to version kea 2.0.2-2 and this now depends on the latest version of boost-libs, so this issue is resolved. Thank you to the maintainer for rebuilding the kea package.
