[solved] php: unable to load "apcu" and "imagick"

[UomoInvisibile]

After updating php to version "8.3.7-2" and php-legacy to version "8.2.19-2", the php-apcu/php-legacy-apcu and php-imagick/php-legacy-imagick modules fail to load due to "undefined symbol php_strlcpy". The error message for apcu.so reads:

[code]
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'apcu.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php/modules/apcu.so (/usr/lib/php/modules/apcu.so: undefined symbol: php_strlcpy)) in Unknown on line 0
[/code]

I use the two mentioned packages with nextcloud - with php-legacy "8.2.19-1" everything was fine.

Has anyone else run into this and fixed it?

Hi,

I got a very similar issue. Today, after upgrading my system (pacman -Syu), 'nextcloud' stopped working and 'occ upgrade' returned this error:

[code]
[root@MyBox ~]# occ upgrade
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'imagick' (tried: /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/imagick (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/imagick: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/imagick.so (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/imagick.so: undefined symbol: php_strlcpy)) in Unknown on line 0
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'apcu' (tried: /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory), /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so: undefined symbol: php_strlcpy)) in Unknown on line 0
An unhandled exception has been thrown:
OCP\HintException: [0]: Memcache OC\Memcache\APCu not available for local cache (Is the matching PHP module installed and enabled?)
[root@MyBox ~]#
[/code]

I checked the php-legacy packages I had in '/var/cache/pacman/pkg', and this is what I found:

I downgraded all new 8.2.19-2 packages back to 8.2.19-1, and that solved the issue on both occ and nexcloud. I noticed the php-legacy-imagick and php-legacy-apcu packages didn't get an update in quite a long time, so I wonder whether rebuilding those might address this issue.

Currently using the following php-legacy pckages:
[list]
- php-legacy-8.2.19-1
- php-legacy-apcu-5.1.23-3
- php-legacy-fpm-8.2.19-1
- php-legacy-gd-8.2.19-1
- php-legacy-imagick-3.7.0-8
[/list]

I hope that helps address the issue.

Thanks.

Hey,

thanks for posting, I am having the same issue. After some research all I found was that rebuilding the packages should solve the problem.

Thanks to the developers, please take care of this.

Same Problem here. Any other workaround than rebuild official packages on your own?

I also got the same error pertaining to php-legacy-imagick when upgrading. In general the upgrade to Nextcloud 29 seems to have been successful. Nextcloud starts but when I try to access a photo file through the browser it wants to download the file instead of displaying it (strange behavior) and it refuses to open anything when pressing "Help" (maybe because php-legacy-imagick is not working)? I assume the developers will have to rebuild the relevant packages in order to link the libraries properly.

Rebuilding php-apcu and php-imagick fixed it for me, you can just clone the official git repos from:
- [url]https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/php-imagick[/url]
- [url]https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/php-apcu[/url]

edit the PKGBUILDs to replace the arch by your arch and run [code]makepkg -s[/code] in them

after that, you can install the corresponding packages either legacy or not or both with [code]pacman -U[/code]

I don't get a php-legacy-imagick tarball (check() failed), I only get php-imagick. php-legacy-apcu works fine. This is enough for nextcloud to run the "sudo occ upgrade"-command.

It's always a problem when you have absolutely no idea (like me). So, thank you very much, unifai - your solution worked (for me) like a charm.

Looks like package rebuilds on 5/29 for php-legacy-apcu & php-legacy-imagick sorted the issue out to me. Maybe it's time to mark this issue as "solved".

Thanks!
