Latest Neon update broke Gwenview

Help
1

I use Gwenview a lot to go through images. Since the last KDE update, it now fails to open when clicking on an image. Using the command prompt I get this error:

jim@linux:~$ gwenview
gwenview: error while loading shared libraries: libkImageAnnotator.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
jim@linux:~$

I noticed the last Neon update had files dealing with Imageannotator… Could something have been misplaced/misconfigured?? My system shows libkimageanototor-qt6 0.7.1-1+22.04+jammy+release+build2 is installed.

Thanks in advance…

And just a follow up… I checked to see if I had libkImageAnnotator.so.0 installed.

It appears I do:

jim@linux:~$ locate libkImageAnnotator.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkImageAnnotator.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkImageAnnotator.so.0.7.1

The new package to be added libkimageannotator-common caught my eye:

Thanks for the reply claydoh.

So, I just did an update… Got Kernel 5.15.0-122 and… There was a new Gwenview in the update as well. v24.08.0

It works now! Thanks to whoever fixed the package. :slight_smile:
