Package: geeqie
Version: 1:2.5-8
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I am no longer able to launch geeqie. I do not remember exactly when it last
succeeded, but the cause of the failure seems apparent.
$ geeqie
geeqie: error while loading shared libraries: libx265.so.209: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Indeed, there is no such file on my system; libx265.so is provided by
libx265-215, and therefore unsurprisingly has SONAME of 215 rather than 209. I
do not see a libx265-209 in the available repositories - neither unstable,
testing, stable, nor even oldstable. I do see it on snapshot.debian.org; the
final x265 version which includes it seems to be 3.6-3, it seems to have gone
away with the switch to 4.1-1.
ldd confirms that /{usr/,}bin/geeqie does reference libx265.so.209.
I do not see any dependency from geeqie to any obvious libx265 package -
certainly not directly, and attempting to uninstall either libx265-15 or
libx265-dev did not want to uninstall geeqie as a dependency.
This looks to me like both a need to rebuild geeqie for an updated dependency,
and an undeclared dependency (though where in the chain that dependency would
need to come from I am not certain). I am not entirely sure why geeqie would
need to use libx265, since I understand that to be a video format and geeqie
to be an image viewer, but I can easily believe that there is a valid reason
that I'm just not in a position to notice.
I suspect, but do not have time to attempt to confirm, that the issue will
affect anyone who installs geeqie from trixie or from current testing (early
forky).
