SUMMARY *** As of yesterday (20 March 2024) Kmail started crashing every time I tried to launch it. Launching it from Konsole, it reported missing libZXing.so.3. 1. Start kmail 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT Kmail crashes, reporting libZXing.so.3 EXPECTED RESULT kmail should start normally. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 6.0 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The problem is fixed by installed libZXing. Is this a new dependency? If not, why did it disappear? Thanks and regards
I can confirm this, I had the exact same issue this morning. It can be solved with `sudo apt install libzxing3`. So there is some depedancy missing somewhere. The full message is: ``` Cannot load part for Mail. Could not load plugin from /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins/kmailpart.so: Cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins/kmailpart.so: (libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) ``` (Since kmailpart.so is provided by the kmail package I guess that needs to depend on libzxing3)
Same here, in my case I just copied /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libZXing.so.3 from otehr machine, I did't notice that libzxing3 was available
The error occurs for me too: kmail: error while loading shared libraries: libZXing.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Installing `libzxing3` manually via apt fixes the issue
Fixed by latest package updates for KDE Gear 24.02.1
