  • Cannot install chrome-stable update due to non-existence of lib file (which does exist)

    From William Unruh@unruh@invalid.ca to alt.os.linux.mageia on Mon Sep 28 18:22:37 2026

    Chrome tells me it needs updateing. If I try to update it, it tells me
    that libgtk-3.so is missing. It is not. It is in
    creeper:1[unruh]>l /lib64/libgtk-{3,4}.so*
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Mar 23 2026 /lib64/libgtk-3.so.0 -> libgtk-3.so.0.2420.32
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7725536 Mar 23 2026 /lib64/libgtk-3.so.0.2420.32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 8 11:05 /lib64/libgtk-4.so.1 -> libgtk-4.so.1.2000.4
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11597840 May 8 11:06 /lib64/libgtk-4.so.1.2000.4

    If I tell urpmi to ignore this, it simply exits. Ie I cannot update
    chrome. Since Magein has removed chromium due to not having anyone who
    is willing to take chromium under their wing, and since I like using
    chrome I am stuck.
    Any hints?

    You can install the app Discover from MCC and use it to install and
    update Chromium.
