[Slackbuilds-users] insync (Google Drive Client) fails to start

[Didier Spaier]

Hello,

I emailed the maintainer about this issue one week ago.

When running insync from a terminal:

didier[~]$ insync
[12100] Error loading Python lib '/usr/lib64/insync/libpython3.7m.so.1.0': dlopen: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.25' not found (required by /usr/lib64/insync/libpython3.7m.so.1.0)
didier[~]$

Indeed Slackware 14.2 ships glibc 2.23, not 2.25.

didier[/usr/lib64/insync]$ ldd insync 
	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffedc7e5000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fea1f8f5000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00007fea1f6de000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fea1f315000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fea1faf9000)
didier[/usr/lib64/insync]$ ls -l /lib64/libc.so.6 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 janv. 10 14:52 /lib64/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.23.so
didier[/usr/lib64/insync]$ 

The SlackBuild repackages a package intended for Debian, which is a huge
(330M) bundle.

Changing the version to one of the previously shipped didn't help.

Let me know if I miss something obvious, else I suggest dropping insync
as well as insync-thunar that depends on it.

Cheers,
Didier
