After a routine update (KDE Neon, Plasma 6.0.2) Korganizer, kontact, and kmail have stopped working. Reinstalling does not fix the problem. If I run the programs from the console, I get the following error message: “korganizer: error while loading shared libraries: libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”. Could someone help me, I am a newbie in this forum …
Do you have some experience with linux?
For me it looks like the shared library (that Korganizer depends on) libZXing.so.3 can’t be found by ld.so (the shared library resolver).
Could you try a find / -name "*libZXing.so.3"?
If that does not output anything like /usr/lib/libZXing.so.3, your system is mostly likely to have uninstalled the libzxing3 package. You should be able to fix it when (re-)installing libzxing3.
If this does not fix it or if the “find” command just mentioned does output anything like /usr/lib/libZXing.so.3, then you will need to edit some ld.so.conf files.
That’s a packaging issue for korganizer package, it should have libzxing dependency.
