Upgrade edb in Kali Linux results undefined symbol error

[ZozoZoeLi]

System Info: Linux kali 4.17.0-kali1-686 #1 SMP Debian 4.17.8-1kali1 (2018-07-24) i686 GNU/Linux

I got the notification while using EDB that 1.0.0 upgrade is available. Therefore I did:

1. sudo apt-get remove --purge edb-debugger
2. sudo apt autoremove
3. sudo apt-get install edb-debugger

The error comes up:

#edb --version
[load_plugins] Cannot load library /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/edb/libDebuggerErrorConsole.so: (/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/edb/libDebuggerErrorConsole.so: undefined symbol: _ZN26DebuggerErrorConsolePlugin20DebuggerErrorConsole20compareDisassemblersEv)
edb version: 1.0.0

Looks like your edb-debugger-plugins package is out of date. Not sure how that could happen with proper package management, this is just my guess.

I had the same problem, and the above response seems like a solution... Upgrading the package > edb-debugger-plugins does the trick

Seems that solution is diagnosed.

@eteran Hey,
I have the same issue. Can you please help? :)
Purged remove both edb and plugins, reinstalled them back, nothing helps...

Unfortunately, I don't have much control of the kali packages. When it doubt I would try the following:

1. uninstall edb and plugins
2. remove $HOME/.config/codef00.com/edb.conf
3. clone the repo (recursively) and build from master
4. just run it from the build directory

I can't imagine how that could fail to work...

@eteran It's magic, but it worked. Sorry for wasting yr time.

[eteran]

Not a waste of time at all. Now we know that works and anyone with the same problem will find this too 👍
