libelektra-proposal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory since upgrade to 0.9.1

[tom-wa]

after upgrading from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1 i get the error
Sorry, 1 warning was issued ;( Sorry, module kdb issued the warning C01200: Installation: Dlopen failed. Could not load module libelektra-hosts.so. Reason: libelektra-proposal.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Mountpoint: Configfile: At: /home/jenkins/workspace/libelektra_master/libelektra/src/libs/loader/dl.c:90

the file libelektra-proposal.so.4 existed in 0.9.0 but not anymore in 0.9.1

Thank you for reporting!

To my knowledge some functions were removed from proposal, but not all. The library will be completely removed in future with #3201.

How did you obtain 0.9.1? Build from the tag or tarball or simply current master (i.e. above 0.9.1 actually) Did you compile yourself or obtain it from e.g. https://debian-stretch-repo.libelektra.org/pool/main/e/elektra/ ?

Is this on a clean installation? I don't see why the build system would not catch this, as it runs the tests of the host plugin.

Can you provide some more steps how to reproduce this situation.

installed it from the debian repositories.

issue happened on a clean installation first and i double-checked it by upgrading from 0.9.0 to 0.9.1 on an other installation.

the system with the clean installation is clean newly set up debian 10.1 VM, the system with the upgraded is a former debian 9.5 unstable.

downgrading back to 0.9.0 fixed the issue on both machines

It seems to be the problem of the Debian packages. I can reproduce this issue, e.g. with libelektra4 0.9.1-1.481 from the build server, hosts still links against libproposal.so but libelektra-proposal.so.4 is not available.

I think it is simply a bug in how we build the Debian package, We do not install libelektra-proposal but some plugins (like hosts) still need it.

@tom-wa for your the best option is to simply compile Elektra from scratch and install it (and not use the Debian packages).

But maybe 6df8d2f73f3b61a877fb3f3f9ec878a7f54ac6e4 fixes the problem.

Then use 0.9.0 for your benchmarks.

I think we can close this now. With 0.9.1-1.631 I can call kdb ls system/hosts without any issues.
