@FuelFlo I had the same problem with seafile-server. These commands finally fixed it for me:
rm .cache/yay/{ccnet-server/,seafile-server/,seafile/,libevhtp-seafile/,libsearpc/,python2-seafobj/,python2-wsgidav-seafile/,seahub/} -rf
sudo pacman -Rcs seafile-server ccnet-server seahub
yay -S seafile-server ccnet-server seahub
But apparently linking libevent-2.1.so.7.0.0 to libevent-2.1.so.6 is not a good fix.
Somehow, no matter how often I rebuild seafile and seafile-client it links against libevent-2.1.so.6, but I have no libevent-2.1.so.6 in /usr/lib/ ....the only libevent-2.1.so.6 is in a tor-browser folder in my home directory.
So something is wrong with the build process. Any ideas @eolianoe?
Linking the library fixed for me: ln -rs /usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.7.0.0 /usr/lib/libevent-2.1.so.6 from: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seafile/#comment-704490
But that's just a workaround, seems like some dependency problem.
@FuelFlo, I don't know. I told you what I have done to solve this issue. May be you could re-install libevent first. Then seafile and seafile-client.
@hopimet mhm thx, i've tried that several times already, removing everything, Seafile dir, pamac buildcache...etc. but it still shows the same libevent error.
Something else i could try?
@PocketSam and FuelFlo, same problem for me. Solved after rebuilt of seafile-client AND seafile. Both packages need to be recompiled to get rid of the libevent library error.
@PocketSam, yeah I have the same problem. Strangely enough only on one device, on my other one no problems.
So i followed the advice from the pinned message and rebuild everything, but the problem still persists...even after rebuilding a second time.
Anyone, any ideas?
Am I the only one with this error: libevent-2.1.so.6 cannot open shared object file ?
@tbleiker: Had the same problem. Delete your cache and download the file again.
For me, the sha256sum was not correct. Had to change it to 3e8749858f0276ed37a18fdcb96e343ce924fa5404ec4f877b9341427430c874.
