why not just correct the problem identified by Andrei Borzenkov
there are two different versions of libreadline installed ??? libreadline4 and libreadline7 according to marc's post on 26 Oct
Hi Patrick, thanks for joining the party! And thanks for your thoughts... You raise an interesting question in my mind. I do not see any evidence that both libreadline4 and libreadline7 packages are installed on this system, just libreadline7. That raises the question, why is /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper raising a fuss about /lib64/libreadline.so.4? That file just doesn't exist. Yast reports that there are packages for libreadline5 and libreadline6 but those packages are not installed. Yast doesn't even give a possibility to install a libreadline4 package. I don't grok what the error message even means, but it seems like a very unusual (and very bad) way to complain about a missing file!! for a quick reference here is what was reported in the xorg-session.log file -
nova:/home/marc/.local/share/sddm # more xorg-session.log /usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libreadline.so.4: undefined symbol: null, version GLIBC_2.2.5
FWIW, start_kdeinit_wrapper is provided in the kinit ver 5.76.0 package. I reinstalled that package just to be certain I have an up to date version actually installed. but still no joy...
