Botan2-2.7.0 causes shadowsocks-qt5 to fail to start

[TaoistMo]

Today, after I performed a system update on my fedora 28, shadowsocks-qt5 could not be started. Using ss-qt5 in the terminal showed that libbotan-2.so.5 was missing, and finally botan was downgraded before returning to normal. Hope to fix this problem

PS：Now it seems that the easier way to solve this problem is to create a soft link to link the missing library files with the latest library files. If you want to solve them perfectly, you need to modify them on the code.

Same problem, I have Botan2 library install on my Fedora 28 but the version is libbotan-2.so.7, does the last version number matter?

EDIT: Come up with a workaround, just create a symbol link of libbotan-2.so.7 and name it libbotan-2.so.5.

@gshen42 Hello, I made a soft link according to your supplement, the software seems to work normally, but I don't know if there will be other problems, it is better to fix this problem on the source level.

Same problem, fedora28 update to linux4.17.4,then crach. ss-qt5: error while loading shared libraries: libbotan-2.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@punkmonday The problem is not in the kernel. After the system upgrade, the version of Botan is higher than the version required by ss-qt5. You can create a soft link to libbotan-2.so.5 or return botan to the previous version. I wish you success

ln -s /usr/lib64/libbotan-2.so.7 /usr/lib64/libbotan-2.so.5 workaround,thank you!

我擦自己人阿

其实我是装双系统不小心把windows的引导给覆盖了，进不去windows了 其实我还想问问怎么用ssr不，我在vultr上好像用的秋水大神的脚本一键搭建的ssr，搭建成功也可以上谷歌，在fedora上找客户端愁死了。 试了https://www.jianshu.com/p/a85542348fa2 但是一些参数始终不明白怎么回事

@jiqing112 这个事情直接在聊天软件上讨论好了@v@

解决了。聊天软件上都是吹牛比的，还是得靠自己阿。在正册河蟹之下找一些敏感内容可真不容易 https://github.com/FelisCatus/SwitchyOmega/releases

Fedora keeps breaking this.. :( There is no workaround but to trigger a rebuild of the software. I'll make a new build in COPR

Upgrade your Fedora and the symbolic link to .5.so should not be required any longer.
