Current Behavior

Plugin fails to load:

Cannot load library /usr/lib/albert/libcalculator_qalculate.so: (libqalculate.so.22: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

$ ls /usr/lib/libqalculate.so*
/usr/lib/libqalculate.so /usr/lib/libqalculate.so.23 /usr/lib/libqalculate.so.23.0.0

Expected Behavior

Plugin should load successfully

That's how arch and the aur works. On dependency updates you have to rebuild.

[kescherCode]

The plugin is distributed via an official repo of this project. Hence, a rebuild is needed there.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Ty. I thought obs handles updates. Well I triggered a rebuild. However the filename did not change. Does updating it work? Does it update at all.

[kescherCode]

Technically, I'm sure I could just purge pacman's package cache and reinstall. However, bumping the pkgrel would probably be better overall.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

Sure. I don't know how to automate it though.

[kescherCode]

Either way, yes, removing albert packages from /var/cache/pacman/pkg/albert* and reinstalling albert works.

[kescherCode]

Hey, can you be notified somewhere if the OBS repo needs a rebuild? Currently, the Python plugins are not working on Arch because the package is built for Python 3.11, whereas Arch currently uses Python 3.12.

[kescherCode]

And GitHub issues aren't exactly suited for this kind of request.

[ManuelSchneid3r]

OBS does not support this afailk. This is out of my hands.
You could also use the AUR package.
Imho the only sophisiticated solution is to put it into the official repository.
Please vote it on aur try to convice TUs to package it.
