Hi guys, I ran prt-get sysup recently and my system is in a bit broken state. A few binaries have dependency on libffi.so.6, but the libffi provides only version 7 now. LLVM could be rebuilt, but firefox-bin not so easy. Did I make something wrong? Is there an easy way to fix this?

firefox-bin is probably a red herring. It's probably one of firefox-bin's dependencies that has a broken link to libffi.so.6 - glib for example. /f

Hi, Wawrzek, You can probably fix this by temporarily creating a symlink from libffi.so.7 to libffi.so.6, then rebuilding the affected packages, then removing the symlink after your rebuilds are done. Regards, Matt
