Release build error after including flutter_gpiod

[PMG-Zachary]

When I attempt to make a release build of my app using gen_snapshot_linux_x64, I get the error:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-version.c: 205: _dl_check_map_versions: Assertion `needed != NULL' failed!

I've made release builds of this app before without updating Flutter or my engine binaries, it stopped working after including flutter_gpiod. The debug build still works fine with this package as well.

I'm currently on Flutter version 2.8.1 and Dart 2.15.1 with the appropriate engine binaries / gen_snapshot_linux_x64_release file. I'm attempting to run the file in a WLS install of Kali Linux. These are the exact build commands I'm using:

flutter clean

flutter build bundle

C:\Users\zach\Documents\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin\dart.exe C:\Users\zach\Documents\flutter\bin\cache\dart-sdk\bin\snapshots\frontend_server.dart.snapshot --sdk-root C:\Users\zach\Documents\flutter\bin\cache\artifacts\engine\common\flutter_patched_sdk_product --target=flutter --aot --tfa -Ddart.vm.product=true --packages .packages --output-dill build\kernel_snapshot.dill --verbose --depfile build\kernel_snapshot.d package:ns_gui/main.dart

does it work if you remove flutter_gpiod again? To be honest I highly doubt it has anything to do with flutter_gpiod, that's just some dart code

It seems like that's a problem with the distro or some incompatibility of the compiled gen_snapshot. Did you do a apt upgrade (no idea what's the Kali equivalent) some time recently?

[PMG-Zachary]

Have you seen this error before with the release build? I looked into it a bit and it seems to be some sort of issue with a missing dependency, but I can't really find anything specific to this application.

I haven't done apt upgrade, updated my Flutter/Dart SDKs, or downloaded a new version of the gen_snapshot since my last successful release build, specifically to avoid compatibility issues. I'll try commenting out everything that uses flutter_gpiod and removing the dependency, if that doesn't work I'll install a fresh Linux distro and try upgrading all of my SDKs and gen_snapshot to the latest versions.

[ardera]

I mean normally asserts should only be there to catch application bugs, and if you google the error that's what it says (for example this)

[PMG-Zachary]

That's one of the threads I looked through while researching the issue, this snippet from glibc in the accepted answer lead me to believe it's a dependency issue:

while (1)
  {
     ElfW(Vernaux) *aux;
     struct link_map *needed = find_needed (strtab + ent->vn_file, map);

    /* If NEEDED is NULL this means a dependency was not found
       and no stub entry was created.  This should never happen.  */
    assert (needed != NULL);
 ...

Specifically the comment and assert (needed != NULL) since that's the assertion that's failing in my case.

It seems fairly likely the Linux distro is to blame, but I wanted to check in here in case this is a known issue.

Yeah, it's still happening with flutter_gpiod commented out. I'll go ahead and close this issue since it seems to just be a problem with my build environment.

Okay, yeah You can try running with LD_DEBUG=all (that's what it says in some comment of the same thread), maybe that gives you some more info

[PMG-Zachary]

I tried that before, but couldn't really glean anything useful. This is the full output with LD_DEBUG, in case it makes more sense to you.

[PMG-Zachary]

I fixed the problem, just in case anyone else has this issue and winds up here somehow. I had gen_snapshot_linux_x64 saved in my repo for building, but switching branches and pulling the file back down caused it to get corrupted. All I needed to do was redownload that file.
