Ntop library problem after 2.2.4 upgrade

[ncolunga]

After upgrade to 2.2.3 or 2.2.4 from 2.2.2 I have found an error running ntop:

Shared object "libiconv.so.2" not found, required by "libgobject-2.0.so.0"

on 2.2.4 /usr/pbi/ntop-amd64/lib i have:

2.2.2 PBI ntop-5.0.1_4-amd64

I can't understand why this libiconv.so.2 appears on 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 being the same ntop and libraries  than in 2.2.2. Any idea?

Thank you

That's standard PBI idiocy. Uninstall the package, reboot, reinstall it and maybe it will pick up the right one this time. Or not…

I don't think so, i have the same problem on the 4 servers upgraded. BTW  I have tried to uninstall and install with no success.

You don't think what? That PBI is idiotic? Get ntopng instead of this dead thing, there, the utter PBI idiocy is worked around like this:

That can be fixed with a simple link:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.2 /usr/pbi/ntop-amd64/lib/libiconv.so.2
