Gwenview missing shared libraries

As of Kinoite v. 43.20260425, Gwenview fails to open:

philip@fedora:/var/home/philip$ flatpak run org.kde.gwenview
gwenview: error while loading shared libraries: libraw.so.24: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
philip@fedora:/var/home/philip$

First noticed it in v. 43.20260424

This is the ‘stock’ flatpak that came with the initial install - it’s actually the first I’ve used it - but fully updated, if there were any since I first installed Kinoite.

I’m wondering if the issue is it’s looking for libraw.so.24 whereas the image / current deployment no longer includes and has moved on to a later version - 25 perhaps? I’m guessing…

Nope: other way around!

philip@fedora:/usr/lib64$ ls | grep -i libraw
libraw1394.so.11
libraw1394.so.11.1.0
libraw_r.so.23
libraw_r.so.23.0.0
libraw.so.23
libraw.so.23.0.0

as /usr is part of the immutable bit, I guess I’ll just have to wait for v24 flow through eventually?

If this is not the correct way to report a bug, could you point me to the correct process? thanks in advance.

Bugs get reported to bugzilla.redhat.com

Ok. I’ll raise there and put a link to it here.

PS. did you mean https://bugzilla.redhat.com ?

yes, sorry
I fixed it above

The Flatpak shouldn’t depend on anything in the host-side /usr/lib64 though - the library should be in the Flatpak itself or its runtime (a Fedora runtime in this case, since you’re using the ‘stock’ Fedora Flatpak).

In any case, definitely deserves a bug report!

I think the issue is that installing gwenview pulls in 2 runtimes for me on f43. One is org.kde.gwenview and the second is org.fedoraproject.KDE6Platform which is an f44 runtime, thus the library mismatch. I installed it from the fedora flatpak repo.

Hmm. Good point.

I wonder if simply removing and reinstalling the flatpak might resolve it.

That said, as you say, still needs a bug report - I’ll link it here when I raise it. The broken flatpak is in the ISO I installed, one assumes, and thus may still be.

OK, bug - my first - raised as 2461873.

Some more info -

  • I remembered I first tried to “fix” gwenview by reinstalling from the fedora repo. The “new” gwenview just failed in the same way as the “old” one (don’t know why I got a different outcome to you, Jeff - for me it only pulled one runtime)
  • If my experience was representative, that means the version on the fedora repo is also broken (missing the same libraw.so.24), so I reported it thusly.
  • When I removed and reinstalled it a second time, but this time from the flathub repo, it pulled two run times and I ended up with a working version (so there’s a workaround - reinstall from flathub)

Blow by blow gory detail is in the bug report.

btw this doesn’t seem to be an issue on non-atomic Fedora KDE 44, which does have libraw.so.25.

So it seems to be specifically the Fedora Flatpak runtime that has the issue.

I can’t open gwenview, reinstalled it but with no result, neither gimp works

Did you read the discussion above?
Installing gwenview from the fedora flatpak repo does not work but appears to work when installed from the flathub repo.

You should open a new thread with significant details about your issue on your system instead of using a “me too” post so others may have a clue as to what the problem is and what you have tried. Answers will then be dedicated to your specific problem.

Your first post is highjacking a topic that seems to have a solution posted.

You did not provide any information about your system so we cannot know what you have done

That attitude in your second post is not likely to gain any assistance.
