gedit: error while loading shared libraries

Hello,

Today, after updating my system I tried to open gedit (I use GNOME desktop) and I got the following error:

gedit: error while loading shared libraries: libatmk-5.so.1: cannont open shared object file: No shuch file or directory.

amtk package version 5.6.1-1 is installed.

If I list the package content I can see:
/usr/lib/libamtk.5.so
/usr/lib/libamtk.5.so.0

So, I think there is a dependency problem. Package gedit 43.2-1 is online but libatmk-5.so.1 is not available in the software repository.

Is it as I say? Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Try symlinking the missing library version to the one you have, as in:
Code: [Select]
/usr/lib/libatmk-5.so.1 --> /usr/lib/libamtk.5.so
