Bug#1042417: zenity: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0

[sid sloth]

Package: zenity
Version: 3.44.0-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: sid-slot...@manyme.com

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

* What led up to the situation?
Upgraded system from bullseye 11.7 to bookworm 12.1

After the upgrade zenity throws the error on any call, for example:

$ zenity --help

zenity: symbol lookup error: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkit2gtk-4.1.so.0: undefined symbol: gst_transcoder_get_sync_signal_adapter


* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?

I have cleaned up package cache.
I have forced the re-installation of zenity and libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0.

* What was the outcome of this action?
Zenity is still broken.

* What outcome did you expect instead?
Zenity should work after the upgrade to bookworm.

What do these commands output?

command -v zenity
ldd `command -v zenity`
ls -ld /lib /usr/lib
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgsttranscoder-*
dpkg-query -W libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0

I think you somehow either have an older version of the
libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 package than the one required by
libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0, or an outdated copy of that library that is not
part of a package (perhaps in /usr/local).
