Description Eric Park 2018-06-24 12:34:48 UTC

Description of problem: Blender does not ship with jemalloc


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Version      : 2.79b
Release      : 3.fc28

How reproducible: Very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ sudo dnf install blender
2. $ blender

Actual results: Blender fails to run with this error:

blender: error while loading shared libraries: libjemalloc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Expected results: Blender should launch.


Additional info:

Installing jemalloc solved this issue but shouldn't this be a dependency?

Comment 1 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2018-06-27 17:43:44 UTC

Blender correctly depends on libjemalloc but a bug in the packaging of 389-ds-base made it incorrectly provides the libjemalloc.so symbol. 
The version 389-ds-base-1.4.0.11-2 corrects this and is in updates-testing.

See:

sudo dnf install blender

Blender incorrectly pulls 389-ds-base-libs because it contains jemalloc.

But with updates-testing activated:

sudo dnf install blender --enablerepo=updates-testing

389-ds-base is not providing libjemalloc anymore so dnf correctly bring jemalloc instead.

Basically you can remove 389-ds-base-libs that has been incorrectly pulled when you installed Blender.

Thanks to Dan Horák for spotting the issue.
