Broke my system as well. Same problem as Drenn. Do not install this package.

This package broke my system. After installing and rebooting, the display manager seemed to bug out and I couldn't enter anything. I couldn't access TTYs either. Had to use a recovery image.

Obviously the /etc/ld.so.preload file is breaking the system. Not sure why.

I suggest you don't put ld.so.preload to/etc but to some other location as an example file.

And then create a libinput-config.install which echoes (prints) a warning to users and instructs them to manually enable the necessary preload hook in their /etc/ld.so.preload file.

The latter file should be the user's prerogative to edit. No package should change it in my opinion. As this can be, at the mininum, a runtime compatibility/stability risk, and at worst, a security risk.

Make the package invoke the libinput-config.install script by putting the following field in your PKGBUILD:

install="$pkgname".install

ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/libinput-config.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

What are these warnings specifically?

flipflop97 commented on 2023-05-08 09:00 (UTC)

The reason I'm using the ld.so.preload way is that the non-glibc way produces a lot of warnings in many apps that can also appear in the apps themselves. If you know of a better way to package this while avoiding those warnings, please let me know!

  • The only reason that community package is packaged that way is because you don't stick -git packages in the repos. Arbitrarily pinning a commit doesn't make sense as you're not releasing this anywhere.
  • You have also packaged this incorrectly, you should use the non-glibc option otherwise you would have to conflict with every single package that touches /etc/ld.so.preload. As I mentioned multiple times, the "non-glibc" option works fine on glibc systems as well. And if you make that change then it is identical to libinput-config-git. Hence this package should not exist.

@eclairevoyant

duplicate of libinput-config-git; this package doesn't make sense to exist because upstream does not do versioned releases

It's not a duplicate, this package is fixed on the latest known commit/version, and I intend to update it for each new commit. It's also not unusual to have 'versioned' packages for repos without version, see netfilter-fullconenat for example.
