libmbedcrypto breaking some apps

[CaptainDrewBoy]

(notes with an asterix are largely anecdotal and people smarter than me can probably think of reasons to disregard them)

mpv and qutebrowser won't start for me anymore, both citing an error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/libmbedcrypto.so.3: file too short
The cited file does exist, but is empty. I have mbedtls installed, but Void's version appears to be out of date from upstream.
* I have also had difficulties getting apps to register mic input, but I can't tell if these are related.
* I suspect, but don't have the technical know-how to prove, that this is related to a recent update that pulled librist onto my system, which depends on mbedtls.

I tried to verify this on my own, but it is not reproducible on my system. However after talking in IRC it does appear the LTS version has changed. I'm unsure if it's related.

Please run xbps-pkgdb -a and check if there is any problems in your machine.

Produces no output. I was having some output before in relation to arc-theme, but after fixing them, and reconfiguring mbedtls and the apps that wouldn't work, nothing changed.

How about: ls -al /usr/lib/libmbedcrypto*

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Feb 20 00:15 /usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.2.16.12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 20 00:15 /usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.3 -> libmbedcrypto.so.2.16.12

As far as I can tell these files are empty.

I can not reproduce this, the file is not empty on my system. What's the output of xuname on your system? Please use the bug issue template next time when reporting bugs.

[sgn]

/usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.2.16.12 if this file is empty, xbps-pkgdb should report an errors.
Are you sure you install mbedtls correctly?

Firstly, sorry for not using the template.
xuname gives Void 5.15.47_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrmFFFFFF

/usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.2.16.12 if this file is empty, xbps-pkgdb should report an errors. Are you sure you install mbedtls correctly?

mbedtls was pulled in as a dependency for something pretty quickly after I setup my system iirc. I've never really messed with its installation, xbps has just managed it for me.

I meant, are you sure, sudo xbps-pkgdb -a reports no errors? With an empty /usr/lib/libmbedcrypto.so.2.16.12, it should report some error like:

ERROR: linux5.15: hash mismatch for /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.47_1.

Your installation is somewhat broken, and you should be told that.

I swear this wasn't popping up before, but I ran this command again to triple check and now there is more output.

OK. So, only mbedtls is broken. Please re-install that package: sudo xbps-install -yff mbedtls

[CaptainDrewBoy]

It would appear that fixed my issue.
Which is weird, because I tried reinstalling mbedtls before filing the issue.
Maybe one of the flags were different?
Whatever, it's fixed now. Thank you for all the help.
