ungoogled-chromium not starting

Hello, when I try to launch ungoogled-chromium I get this message:

Code: [Select]
mc-systemproductname:[mc]:~$ chromium
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The required rebuild is running. This takes quite a while as ungoogled-chromium is the most resource demanding package to build.

Installed mate-calculator on a fresh install today and got this:

mate-calc: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Also, on another machine after system update my Conky refused to start with the same error.

I tested on an updated Mate system. mate-calc is version 1.28.0 there and this starts up fine.
Which version do you have? Maybe it's a mirror issue.

Also conky 1.22.1-2 starts up as intended.

/usr/lib/libxml2.so.16 is a symlink to /usr/lib/libxml2.so.16.0.2 (current version).
Check if the first one is present in /usr/lib. If not - make it.

you can always do that.  That breaks the package standard.  Also, it bothers me because to me that means the source code is broken.  It should link to the .so file which is OFTEN a link to a minor version number.

And what is wrong with autoconf
