From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: [spin@cain ~]$ digikam digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libexif.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [spin@cain ~]$ rpm -q digikam libexif digikam-0.8.0-1.fc4 libexif-0.6.12-3 spin@cain ~]$ ldd /usr/bin/digikam |grep libexif libexif.so.12 => /usr/lib/libexif.so.12 (0x005b6000) libexif.so.9 => not found rpm -qR digikam | grep libexif libexif.so.12 Basically, I can't get digikam to start because it wants libexif.so.9. The RPM doesn't list that as a dependancy however and the libexif rpm doesn't provide it either. However, using ldd shows that digikam is linked against the 9 version of libexif. Or is it possible that some other library that digikam uses requires it? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): digikam-0.8.0-1.fc4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. invoke digikam 2. 3. Actual Results: [spin@cain ~]$ digikam digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libexif.so.9: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected Results: The program should have opened. Additional info:
It seems that for whatever reason I had a libkexif from the kde-redhat project from fc3 installed and it wasn't getting upgraded by yum. It required libexif.so.9. When I removed it and installed libkexif from extras, the problem was gone.
