GParted can't work

  • 772

I installed Gparted with sudo apt install gparted and sudo apt install -f. When I typed sudo gparted, it tells me:

Unit -.mount does not exist, proceeding anyway.
/usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libglibmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, and it's not the first time that I met such library related problem (see another question posted by me).
I found a review in Ubuntu Software telling me that GParted can't run on 18.04, so I consider this a version related problem.
The output for apt-cache policy gparted libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 is

gparted:

The output for grep -r -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | grep ppa is

/etc/apt/sources.list.d/snwh-ubuntu-pulp-bionic.list:deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/snwh/pulp/ubuntu bionic main

The output for ldd /usr/sbin/gpartedbin | grep not is

libcairomm-1.0.so.1 => not found
libgiomm-2.4.so.1 => not found
libglibmm-2.4.so.1 => not found
libsigc-2.0.so.0 => not found

But when I run sudo apt install libglibmm-2.4-1v5 (also for other missing libraries) it says something like

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
libglibmm-2.4-1v5 is already the newest version (2.56.0-1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

I reinstalled the packages with sudo apt-get install --reinstall libcairomm-1.0-1v5 libglibmm-2.4-1v5 libsigc++-2.0-0v5 and executed 

ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairomm-1.0.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglibmm-2.4.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsigc-2.0.so.0 | grep not

GParted can now function well. Thanks for everyone's sincere help.

    We have four libraries:

    • libcairomm-1.0.so.1
    • libgiomm-2.4.so.1
    • libglibmm-2.4.so.1
    • libsigc-2.0.so.0

    Try to reinstall their packages with the following command:

    sudo apt-get install --reinstall libcairomm-1.0-1v5 libglibmm-2.4-1v5 \
libsigc++-2.0-0v5

    Then check their linkage:

    ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcairomm-1.0.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgiomm-2.4.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglibmm-2.4.so.1 | grep not
ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsigc-2.0.so.0 | grep not
