  • GNU screen libc.so.7 issue

    From Wolfgang Agnes@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 1 20:28:04 2024
    I don't understand what's happening here and I would appreciate a
    presentation of how computers and FreeBSD work that makes this happen.
    In particular, I see (via ldd below) that the library libc.so.7 is to be
    found by the linker, but perhaps the loader expected a different one and
    is upset it didn't find it?

    # screen
    ld-elf.so.1: /lib/libc.so.7: version FBSD_1.8 required by /usr/local/bin/screen not found

    # ldd $(which screen)
    /usr/local/bin/screen:
    libncursesw.so.9 => /lib/libncursesw.so.9 (0x2491b92b1000)
    libtinfow.so.9 => /lib/libtinfow.so.9 (0x2491b7dff000)
    libutil.so.9 => /lib/libutil.so.9 (0x2491b84c2000)
    libulog.so.0 => /lib/libulog.so.0 (0x2491b9f04000)
    libcrypt.so.5 => /lib/libcrypt.so.5 (0x2491ba31d000)
    libc.so.7 => /lib/libc.so.7 (0x2491ba6aa000)
    libmd.so.6 => /lib/libmd.so.6 (0x2491bb457000)
    [vdso] (0x2491b7ce3000)

    I first installed screen50-5.0.0 with /pkg install/. Seeing the
    problem, I tried to install /screen49-4.9.1_5/, which I did:

    # pkg which /usr/local/bin/screen
    /usr/local/bin/screen was installed by package screen-4.9.1_5

    --8<-------------------------------------------------------->8--- screen49-4.9.1_5 Multi-screen window manager
    screen50-5.0.0 Multi-screen window manager --8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---

    Both versions display the same problem.

    This is a FreeBSD 14.

    Does updating to FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p11 resolve the libc.so.7 version mismatch? <URL:https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-24:16.libnv.asc>

    Try building screen from ports. It may self adjust to your version of
    libc.

    Packages from the FreeBSD pkg mirror are likely now being
    linked against FreeBSD 14.1 libc.so.
    I hear echoes of the Wolfgang's bug report in this FreeBSD forum post: <URL:https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/lib-libc-so-7-version-fbsd_1-7-not-found.88663/>

    Thanks! That did it!

    %screen -v
    Screen version 4.09.01 (GNU) 20-Aug-23

    What was the issue? If I understand it, it seems the GNU screen from
    the pkg-collection was compiled against a libc.so.7 with a certain
    internal version named FBSD_1.8 while my system had a libc.so.7 with an internal version lower than FBSD_1.8. A now-and-then comparison:

    (*) Now

    %strings /lib/libc.so.7 | grep FBSD
    FBSD_1.0
    FBSD_1.1
    FBSD_1.2
    FBSD_1.3
    FBSD_1.4
    FBSD_1.5
    FBSD_1.6
    FBSD_1.7
    FBSD_1.8
    FBSDprivate_1.0

    %which screen
    /usr/local/bin/screen
    %strings /usr/local/bin/screen | grep FBSD
    FBSD_1.0
    FBSD_1.3
    FBSD_1.5
    FBSD_1.7
    FBSD_1.8
    %

    (*) Then

    %strings /usr/local/bin/screen | grep FBSD
    FBSD_1.0
    FBSD_1.3
    FBSD_1.5
    FBSD_1.7
    FBSD_1.8

    %strings /lib/libc.so.7 | grep FBSD
    FBSD_1.0
    FBSD_1.1
    FBSD_1.2
    FBSD_1.3
    FBSD_1.4
    FBSD_1.5
    FBSD_1.6
    FBSD_1.7
    FBSDprivate_1.0

    That suggests that screen evolved a bit quicker than the ``base system''
    (if that's the right name).

    I appreciate the help and any more info anyone might provide. Thanks!

    FreeBSD 14.0 is EOL.
    <URL:https://www.freebsd.org/security/unsupported/>

    Presumably FreeBSD.ORG's pkg build servers are now at 14.1 with the
    newer libc.so.

    You might want to upgrade: <URL:https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.1R/installation/#upgrade>
