6 Searching on portagefilelist.de, this file appears in dev-libs/stfl. Okay, let's
7 have a look at the files which that package installs.
8
9 $ equery f dev-libs/stfl
10 * Searching for stfl in dev-libs ...
11 * Contents of dev-libs/stfl-0.24:
12 /usr
13 /usr/include
14 /usr/include/stfl.h
15 /usr/lib64
16 /usr/lib64/libstfl.so -> libstfl.so.0.24
17 /usr/lib64/libstfl.so.0.24
18 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig
19 /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/stfl.pc
20 /usr/share
21 /usr/share/doc
22 /usr/share/doc/stfl-0.24
23 /usr/share/doc/stfl-0.24/README.bz2
24
25 libstfl.so.0 doesn't exist.
26
27 It seems like this is a bug in newsboat, as it doesn't look for the correct file
28 as provided by stfl. A temporary solution would be to add a symlink in
29 /usr/lib64/ like so:
30
31 /usr/lib64 $ ln -s libstfl.so libstfl.so.0
32
33 A more permanent solution would be to fix the error in newsboat, or patch the
34 ebuild to create this symlink upon installation of stfl or newsboat.
