Bug Description

Binary package hint: ia32-libs

Running some 32bit programs on a 64bit system gives the following error messages:

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

This is because libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.1 looks for modules in /usr/lib/gio/modules instead of /usr/lib32/gio/modules. However even if you patch the path, /usr/lib32/libgvfscommon.so.0 is missing.

The workaround is to do the following

sudo ln -s /usr/lib32 /usr/123
sudo sed -i -e 's/usr\/lib/usr\/123/g' libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.1

to patch libgio, THEN get a copy of libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0 from a 32 bit system and copy it into /usr/lib32, fix permissions, owner and add a symlink

sudo chown root libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0
sudo chgrp root libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0
sudo chmod 644 libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0
sudo ln -s libgvfscommon.so.0.0.0 libgvfscommon.so.0

Package: 2.7ubuntu26

Is this fix going to lucid-updates any time soon? I'm suffering from this issue, the workaround above works but I would like see a real fix package for an LTS release.

Regards
Tom

I am also suffering from this one in order to run Eclipse in 32 bit mode because of some legacy plugins. libgvfscommon.so.0 is still missing in /usr/lib32 in 10.04.2 LTS.

I'm really tired of Ubuntu not fixing bugs like this in an LTS release. I'm running Lucid
and finally did the above work-around too. Still no fix for lib32 on amd64 Lucid
from Ubuntu.

I am uploading a fix to lucid-proposed overnight, pending the very long upload time and approval of the SRU team.

Sorry for the delays, but recognize that this is a community-supported package and I'm just a volunteer :)

Accepted ia32-libs into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

I don't have a 64-bit machine. Someone who is affected please test the package from -proposed and report whether it fixes the issue or not. Thank you.

Already upgraded ia32-libs from 2.7ubuntu26.1 with Ubuntu 10.04.02 to 2.7ubuntu26.2 from lucid-proposed.
/usr/lib32/libgvfscommon.so.0 is back.

But looks like libgio-2.0.so.0.2400.1 looks for modules in /usr/lib/gio/modules instead of /usr/lib32/gio/modules.

The error messages 'wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64' is still there.

Thanks,
Jerry

For the record, at some point during this process ia32-libs was hit with a security update or two, which probably did not include the proposed fix.
