Welcome application not launching

General system Applications

The :enos: welcome application is no longer launching for me :frowning_face: Looking at the terminal output

/usr/bin/yad: error while loading shared libraries: libgspell-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

it seems to be related to today’s update of gspell which is a dependency of yad.

I don’t have the welcome app but I do have another app depending on gspell, namely evince:

$ evince
evince: error while loading shared libraries: libgspell-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The new version of gspell provides /usr/lib/libgspell-1.so.3 so there is no libgspell-1.so.2 in the system after the update.

I guess a rebuild of everything depending on gspell is needed? :thinking:

Quick & Dirty Fix:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgspell-1.so.3 /usr/lib/libgspell-1.so.2

Evince just got fixed for the gspell update: evince 46.3.1-1 -> 46.3.1-2

yad coming from endeavouros repo so I would guess @manuel would need to have a look at it?
