Error updating Plex

[goomer1979]

I have tried to update plex and keep getting the error ld-elf.so.1: shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg"

I have also tried the fix as per this post

239498 – Upgrade instructions from 11.3 to 12.0 result in break of pkg utility

bugs.freebsd.org

I am running version TrueNAS-12.0-RELEASE
and the plex is currently on 1.20.2.3402

Did you try installing it?

pkg install libarchive

If its installed you might just need a symlink..

ln -s /usr/lib/libarchive.so /usr/lib/libarchive.so.6

 

[goomer1979]

tried that from the shell for plex and get:

ln /usr/lib/libarchive.so.6 : Read Only File system

Tried from the main shell and get
ln /usr/lib/libarchive.so.6: File Exists

Maybe try a reforce reinstall all packages and depends. Something got wonky somewhere.

pkg upgrade -f

I have managed to sort it by reinstalling truenas on the drive and taking over the existing disks.

Thanks

I had the exact same issue after updating my jails after upgrading FreeNAS to TrueNAS. Found this thread by searching

ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg"

in Google...

Did a bit more digging and found this bug which shows the solution is simply pkg-static install -f pkg
