Thanks, unfortunate timing then.

For reference, with Gnome shell / wayland I need to

unset QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
unset QT_QPA_PLATFORM

to avoid 

Google Earth has caught signal 6.

This package currently crashes at startup because /opt/google/earth/pro/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 is out of date. Removing the library fixes the problem (it causes Google Earth to use the up-to-date system version of libcrypto).

This patch fixes the problem for me:

Hi, I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to edit google-earth-pro.{desktop,menu} and exchange '/opt/google/earth/pro/google-earth-pro' with '/usr/bin/google-earth-pro' in both files. Doesn't seem to make much sense to have a wrapper in /usr/bin taking care of properly setting up the needed environment and not using that as the start command.

@iyanmv: From all those packages I listed in that thread, that allegedly needed to be rebuilt, I've noticed that some of those were not false positives and I was just not sure about this one. Thanks for clarification.

iyanmv commented on 2021-01-16 23:31 (UTC)

@madjoe you were even talking in that discussion...

iyanmv commented on 2021-01-16 23:30 (UTC)

@madjoe This answer [1] from rebuild-detector developer applies here. As I said before, just ignore those false positives.

I get many false positives as well using checkrebuild and I don't think that justifies adding patches. I think setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unnecessary in this case, just ignore the message.

madjoe commented on 2021-01-16 22:46 (UTC)

@iyanmv: Then I guess setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is missing somewhere (/opt/google/earth/pro/googleearth?), since my checkrebuild returns a warning that I should rebuild this package.

iyanmv commented on 2021-01-16 21:30 (UTC)

@madjoe Google bundles some of those "missing" libraries within Google Earth release. If you use ldd you are using your Arch's default LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you run

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/google/earth/pro/ ldd /opt/google/earth/pro/libgoogleearth_pro.so

You will see that nothing is missing. Please, next time avoid flagging out the package as out-of-date.
