emerge broken

[actaea]

Whenever I try to emerge any program, I get this error message

/usr/bin/wget: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but

emerge program -p

works fine.

I have my suspicions about what happened. I'm new to Gentoo and finally got everything working, but I wanted better fonts and did some research and downloaded the fonts. The instructions then suggested emerge -avuDN world which I did. I haven't yet emerged gentoolkit and don't seem to be able to do that either--if revdep-rebuild would help in this case. Thanks for any help!

Thx, It works for me.

I tried the FETCHCOMMAND command and I'm still having problems.
My machine appears to be trying to download wget-1.10.2.tar.gz at every gentoo mirror, but it now claims that /usr/bin/wget doesn't exist.

It is in fact correct.

Also, I having other problems related to libssl.so.0.9.7 besides not being able to emerge.

I manually donwloaded each required file (for example):

Code: Select all

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/distfiles/wget-1.10.2-gentoo-0.2.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.man.poznan.pl/pub/gnu/gnu/wget/wget-1.10.2.tar.gz

and placed each in /usr/portage/distfiles/

wget functionality restored.

Thanks to the Gentoo forums (Spanish version): libssl problem

Now to see of all of the other libssl issues will be fixed

I have exactly the same problem while doing a stage 3 install.
After unpacking the stage and portage tree and configure the
make.conf I remerged / updated the system using:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync
emerge -uDN system

The error arises after a new version of openssl is merged and
the version 0.9.7 is cleaned out automatically. Afterwards wget
isn't working anymore.

Maybe a dependency is missing, that stops portage to unmerge
the openssl library linked with wget?!?

[al.gravier]

i did

Code: Select all

ln /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 

and it's fixed. temporarily of course.

(and also hello world i'm new here)

on my machine this worked

Code: Select all

# FETCHCOMMAND='/bin/busybox wget -P "${DISTDIR}" "${URI}"' emerge -va wget

(just busybox, not busybox.static)

thanks for this thread

cheers!

Another possibility is to download the wget files

• http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/w ... .2.tar.bz2
• http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/w ... 0.2.tar.gz

to '/usr/portage/distfiles' using links and
afterwards remerge wget via

Code: Select all

FETCHCOMMAND='/bin/true' emerge --nodeps wget

Interesting, I had this same problem with emerge after a fresh install of 2006.1 on a new box I got.

However, now when I try to load some programs that call upon libssl, I get the same error message:

Code: Select all

$ mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$

Nice. It seems that the emerge autoclean doesn't take dependencies on openssl into account, because this
happened (at least on my side) after a new version of openssl was installed and the 0.9.7 was cleaned out
by the autoclean process of the merge.

Is this a bug or something with emerge?

Now after mplayer fails to load (and I assume everything that uses libssll (openssl?) ), I get the failure on new emerges, trying the wget workaround you mentioned above.

EDIT: Check, with the reemerge on wget, now mplayer works, and emerge works.
