Hello, I seem to be getting this error when trying to start latest version.
Some help would be much appreciated.
/usr/share/vpn-unlimited/vpn-unlimited: error while loading shared libraries: libidn2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Thanks.
I remove this package, clean orphan packages, and then reinstall it and it's working. Thanks for maintaining this.
@tri1976, it seems to me that you are still using the previous version of this package. Have you tried updating it? I have dropped the dependency on libcurl-openssl-1.0, and replaced it with libcurl-compat from community. Even so, you are having a warning from the curl library, which I believe does not have much to do with the memory corruption error you are experiencing. Please try upgrading this package, and using sudo pacman -Rscn $(pacman -Qtdq) (on bash) to get rid of the orphan packages from your system. Otherwise, I cannot help much, as the package seems to be running for me and a bunch of other people in this thread.
I updated Arch yesterday and it broke this program. It required qt5-webengine now. I got the following messages when trying to run it
/usr/share/vpn-unlimited/vpn-unlimited: /usr/lib/libcurl-openssl-1.0.so: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libvpnu_private_sdk.so.1) Translation file loaded: ":/translations/translations/VPN_Unlimited_English.qm" Translation file loaded: ":/translations/translations/VPN_SDK_English.qm" malloc(): memory corruption
Any idea how to fix it?
@Ray, sorry for the inconvenience.
If you followed the posts here, you must have realized that I needed to bump the package version due to the consistent out-of-date flagging of the package from users. Moreover, this application seems to be a bit fragile to install on Arch Linux. I must admit that I am not an expert in Linux systems in general, and definitely not in Arch Linux, either. I needed to write a PKGBUILD file for my own use, and I just wanted to share it here on AUR, when I noticed that it was working on my system. Below, you would see a lot of posts complaining that the package results in crashes of different sort for different users. What I did when I created this PKGBUILD was to try to translate the Ubuntu dependencies to those available in Arch Linux, and wrap them inside an Arch-friendly PKGBUILD file.
Having said, both this version and the previous one, 4.23-2, do work on my machines. I think you can follow one of the two alternatives:
/var/cache/pacman/pkg. Then, pacman -U <filename_of_the_version_you_want> should downgrade the package back to what was working on your machine,git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/vpn-unlimited /tmp/vpn-unlimited
cd /tmp/vpn-unlimited
git checkout -b install b8c30453eda69a5976de04ee280bac67bd08969e
makepkg --syncdeps --clean --cleanbuild --rmdeps --install
Upon succesful build of the package, pacman should ask you if you would like to downgrade. Later, you can add this package to the IgnorePkg line of /etc/pacman.conf to disable updates to the package until you choose to do so.
P.S: Both this version and the previous version, i.e., 4.23-2, are the same versions of the upstream VPN Unlimited App. You should still be fine with the previous version of this package.
@aytekinar, Not bumping the version numbers when the package itself has been changed is indeed stupid. That was my bad, I am new to AUR in general, so I thought mere flagging would have worked.
I installed this package to update my previous vpn-unlimited 4.23-2 package that I had successfully installed from AUR. The new version will not run at all. VPN Unlimited starts, but crashes immediately. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Where can I find the previous version? I can reinstall that.
If it works, I'll most certainly avoid updating something that isn't broken
@pizzapower, I have already updated the package. That line has been removed and the dependency on libcurl-openssl-1.0 has been replaced with libcurl-compat provided by the community.
How I fixed the latest problem:
edit /usr/bin/vpn-unlimited (it's a shell script)
comment the second line
#export LD_PRELOAD=libcurl-openssl-1.0.so
Now it works.

NOTE: Issues regarding
iculibrary files not being found, such asare not strictly related to this package, but to
boost174. Each time theicupackage in the official repositories is updated to a new major version,boost174needs to be rebuilt.You don't need to install any version of
icuother than the package available in the official repositories. To resolve the issue, either rebuildboost174yourself or, even better, leave a comment inboost174so I can publish a new pkgver and as such force a rebuild for all users.
