ia32-libs 2.7ubuntu1 missing libuuid.so.1, breaks flash

It also breaks padsp in conjunction with wine:

$ padsp wine StarCraft.exe
wine: error while loading shared libraries: libuuid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My first guess was a missing symlink.
$ ls /lib/libuuid.so* -lha
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 2008-10-13 18:07 /lib/libuuid.so.1 -> libuuid.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19K 2008-10-13 15:13 /lib/libuuid.so.1.2

> Downgrading back to 2.2ubuntu18 makes it work again.
Same with me.

$ sudo dpkg --configure -a

Using the new x86_64 alpha flash plugin solves this problem for flash.
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes_64bit.html

it is funny how on the same day it came out, nspluginwrapper stopped working.

Just to be safe, do i just need to download the plugin, remove flash and nspw and place the plugin in te flash player dir?

Put the 64-bit plugin in /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins.

If just flash is broken by the removal of libuuid, we may not need it any more once 64-put flash is in the repository.

I removed only flashplugin-nonfree, and installed the libflashplayer.so in my ~/.mozilla/plugins directory so I can easily remove it once a package is in the repository.

The acroread plugin is likewise broken in Jaunty by this bug.

Just to add to this, if you don't disable the flash plugin in FF/epiphany/[insert browser of choice here], your system will become incredibly sluggish. In addition, you will notice a bunch of npview.bin processes that are defunct/zombie processes building up.

hi i have a same problem with ubuntu 9.04 a1

is there any idea when this is going to be fixed?

This is affecting wine too.

Triaging with high importance. This appears to break anything dependent on ia32-libs, such as nspluginwrapper and wine.

I am glad this is being dealt with. As someone who reported the failure of wine, I am concerned that it is being assumed that the flashplugin failure and the wine failure are related, just because both give error messages about libuuid.so.1 not being found.

In fact, libuuid.so.1 is in its correct place (/lib/libuuid.so.1), as far as I can see. In any case, this is nothing to do with ia32-libs - it is installed in its own package, libuuid1. Or does ia32-libs have another library of the same name?

The wine failure does seem to relate to ia32-libs - probably because the newer (Jaunty) version is missing some alsa libraries. As others have found, using the latest Intrepid version of ia32-libs restores wine's ability to run at all. I don't use sound in wine, so I don't know whether that aspect is working now.

For Flash, removing flashplugin-nonfree and swfdec-mozilla, then installing the 64-bit flash player 10.0.d20 from Adobe fixed it for me.

Stephen, yes, the purpose of ia32-libs is to provide a collection of 32-bit libraries in /lib32 for use on an x86-64 system (which has 64-bit libraries in /lib). The bug is that the new version of /usr/lib32/libSM.so.6 in ia32-libs 2.7ubuntu1 introduces a new dependency on libuuid.so.1, but no 32-bit copy of libuuid.so.1 is provided. (If it were, it would be in /lib32/libuuid.so.1; the 64-bit /lib/libuuid.so.1 does not help.) This means that the new ia32-libs breaks any 32-bit application that depends on libSM.so.6, such as Flash and Wine.

Thanks for the clarification, Anders. Hope you all get it sorted out soon!

Here is how to resolve this issue while you wait for a revised package:

 1) Download libuuid1_1.41.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb to a temporary location
 2) sudo bash -l
 3) dpkg-deb -x libuuid1_1.41.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
 4) mv lib/libuuid.so.* /lib32
 5) apt-get -f install (JUST TO FIX ANY OUTSTANDING ISSUES, e.g., mozilla-acroread)

I'm also getting this with a linux game:

# ./castelos_client
./castelos_client: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Here's a list of libs we should add to ia32-libs:

libmad0
libvorbis0a
libvorbisfile3
libuuid1

The last one is from this bugreport, the first three I ran into problems while trying to build and run stepmania (which is currently not compatible with 64 bit).

I've subscribed pitti because in the past he's done the ia32-libs uploads I've needed :)

Scott,

I'm taking care about it.

This bug was fixed in the package ia32-libs - 2.7ubuntu2
