[SOLVED] keepassxc fails on current wants libboost_system.so.1.83.0

Z038 · 04-26-2024, 05:37 AM

After upgrading to current64 a couple of days ago, keepassxc would not start. So I upgraded to version 2.7.7 from slackbuilds.org, and it still fails with:

$ keepassxc
keepassxc: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.83.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I don't find this library on my system. What package installs it?

EDIT: I guess it is boost.

Code:

# slackpkg search boost

Looking for boost in package list. Please wait... DONE

The list below shows all packages with name matching "boost".

[ installed ] - boost-1.85.0-x86_64-1

So how to get past this? Can I reinstall boost-1.83 or will that break other stuff?

it's the keepassxc dependency Botan that links against boost...
you have to recompile and reinstall that too.

Thank you, ponce. I recompiled Botan, then Keepassxc, and that fixed it.

Or grab Alien bob's boost compat.
