Haruna video player (snap) not working - libmsrpc3.so.0 error

  • 772

I wanted to try the latest Haruna player (0.10.3), but it is not available as apt installation (that is 0.9.3), and after installing the snap version I get this:

env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/haruna_haruna.desktop /snap/bin/haruna %u /snap/haruna/11/usr/bin/haruna: error while loading shared libraries: libmsrpc3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I read here that I could try sudo apt-get install --reinstall samba-libs, but that didn't work.

Note after accepting answer:

  • the intended version 0.10 was not available on snapstore, but only on flathub; the flatpak version 0.10 is not affected by this problem;
  • the accepted answer refers to the only snap version available at the moment of the question (0.9), the one affected by the problem
kubuntu

    Confirmed the snapped application is broken. The "missing" library is indeed shipped in the snap, but it's not somewhere in a path that the application will look in.

    $ ls -l /snap/haruna/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libmsrpc3.so.0 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 145712 Jul 18  2022 /snap/haruna/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/libmsrpc3.so.0

    The publisher needs to modify the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment section of their snapcraft.yaml to something like this:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SNAP/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/:$SNAP/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/samba/

    Alternatively, as a workaround, you can fix it locally, temporarily.

    Download the snap

    $ mkdir ~/harunatemp
$ cd ~/harunatemp
$ snap download haruna --candidate
Fetching snap "haruna"
Fetching assertions for "haruna"
Install the snap with:
   snap ack haruna_11.assert
   snap install haruna_11.snap

    Unpack the snap

    $ unsquashfs haruna_11.snap

    Modify the snap

    I use nano but you could use whatever text editor you like.

    $ nano ~/harunasnap/squashfs-root/meta/snap.yaml

    Change this line:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/

    To this:

    LD_LIBRARY_PATH: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$SNAP/usr/lib/$SNAPCRAFT_ARCH_TRIPLET/:$SNAP/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba/

    Note: Be careful to preserve the indentation, yaml is picky.

    The CTRL+X to save.

    Repack the snap

    $ snap pack squashfs-root
built: haruna_0.9.1_amd64.snap

    Install the snap

    $snap install ./haruna_0.9.1_amd64.snap --dangerous
haruna 0.9.1 installed

    Run the snap

    $ snap run haruna

    Great success!

    Although this doesn't give you the version you want, it hopefully explains to you or anyone else how to bodge fix a snap :D
