Mageia forum

Here I use Mageia 3 in VirtualBox.
I just updated about 300 packages and where told to remove 1 orfpans.
I open Terminal and try to use su and get the following messages.

Code: Select all

[jan@localhost ~]$ su
su: /lib/libpam_misc.so.0: no version information available (required by su)
su: relocation error: su: symbol misc_conv, version LIBPAM_MISC_1.0 not defined in file libpam_misc.so.0 with link time reference


The /lib/libpam_misc.so.0 will not be found to install through MCC.
What to do?

Code: Select all

 urpmf /lib/libpam_misc.so.0
libpam0:/usr/lib/libpam_misc.so.0
libpam0:/usr/lib/libpam_misc.so.0.82.0

which indicates that you need the package libpam0.

In MCC the package libpam0, version 1.1.6, have the status - (minus) and can't be removed before trying to installed again.
So what to do?

You could try to reinstall it:

Code: Select all

urpmi --replacepkgs libpam0

Thanks!
That solved the problem.
