wget binary included in Lutris does not run on Arch
Description:
The wget bundled with Lutris does not work on Arch:
.local/share/lutris/runtime/network-tools $ ./wget --help
./wget: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When installing something that requires wget, the installation will fail. Searching online, this appears to be a strange thing that Debian does which causes the application to fail to dynamically link on Arch. I replaced the wget in this path with a symlink to /usr/bin/wget and my install succeeded (in this case mod-organizer-2 )
Outside of statically linking wget, I'm not sure there's a good way for Lutris to fix this upstream, which is why I am reporting it as an arch packaging bug. Let me know if this is incorrect.
Additional info:
- package version(s): lutris-0.5.17
- config and/or log files: N/A
- link to upstream bug report, if any: N/A
Steps to reproduce:
- Run
.local/share/lutris/runtime/network-tools/wget --help
This is the full procedure I was using when I found the bug, but is not necessary to reproduce:
- Install Lutris with pacman
- Allow lutris to manage web links
- Install Steam and one of the games that mod organizer 2 manages (in my case, Fallout New Vegas)
- Run the target game once
- Go to the mod-organizer-2 page and click the install link for version
2.2.2.1 - Select the game you want to manage and continue the install
- While trying to download the needed Wine packages, the installer will fail with a wget error.
In my opinion, this should work out of the box in the arch install without replacing the wget executable.
