[Linux] libboost_filesystem.so.1.75.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Willie30F]

Relevant components

• [X] Standalone tray application (based on Qt Widgets)
• [ ] Plasmoid/applet for Plasma desktop
• [ ] Dolphin integration
• [ ] Command line tool (syncthingctl)
• [ ] Integrated Syncthing instance (libsyncthing)
• [ ] Backend libraries

Environment and versions

• Versions of syncthingtray, boost-libs: 1.1.8-1, 1.76.0-1
• Qt version: 5.15.2
• Operating system (name and version): Manjaro (arch) Linux

Bug description I notices that syncthingtray won't start anymore when starting my operating system. I then tried to start it via the console window to see whats wrong. It searches for libboost_filesystem.so.1.75.0 which it can't find because I a newer version got installed with the latest update of syncthingtray.

❯ syncthingtray
syncthingtray: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.75.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Heres a locate command searching for the requested library, the problem might be the version that's put in the actual filename of the library:

❯ locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.a
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.76.0
/usr/lib/cmake/boost_filesystem-1.76.0/libboost_filesystem-variant-shared.cmake
/usr/lib/cmake/boost_filesystem-1.76.0/libboost_filesystem-variant-static.cmake

Expected behavior To start normally using the library without the version number, which you can see in my locate search above. I guess that's a link to the actual library just without the version number in it.

Anymore questions? Just ask please :)
