Description Dominik 'Rathann' Mierzejewski 2022-04-29 10:08:07 UTC
Description of problem:
While scanning using xsane from a HP LaserJet M1132MFP device, I get error messages about libhpmud.so and libm.so not being found in the logs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hplip-3.22.2-1.fc35.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run xsane
2. Select M1132MFP scanner device
3. Acquire preview

Actual results:
Apr 29 11:19:49 xsane[3637]: common/utils.c 249: unable to load library libhpmud.so: libhpmud.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Apr 29 11:19:49 xsane[3637]: common/utils.c 249: unable to load library libm.so: /lib64/libm.so: invalid ELF header

Expected results:
No messages about library load failures.

Additional info:
It seems that the code attempts to load the .so file first and then falls back to loading .so.X in some places:

libhpmud.so:

Hi Dominik,

I'm sorry for the late response and thank you for filing the bug!

The issue was a little tricky - we shipped libhpmud.so in hplip-libs in the past, but rpmlint was complaining about it so it was removed. The proper solution would be to have the file in -devel package, but then we would need to require -devel package during runtime, which is not ideal as well.

So in the end I've removed loading of unversioned .so files.
