I get this error when I try running LibreOffice after upgrading from 13.10 to 14.04.

~$> libreoffice --writer

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This problem relate to more programs than just libreoffice.

 /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Output of strace

~$> strace filezilla

    This problem relate to more programs than just libreoffice. /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libtasn1.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory – landas Apr 22 '14 at 14:12
  • temporary solution for me was to copy the libtasn1.so.3 from my Steam installation folder. I'm guessing this problem is not with the programs (Flashplayer, Libreoffice, Chromium, Empathy SSL, Filezilla), but with a library... Maybe I need to fore re-installation of a library after my upgrade to 14.04? – landas Apr 22 '14 at 16:56
  • updated the question with a strace example. The same output is valid for LibreOffice. Error in Empathy and Flashplayer happens in runtime, and do only break https:// functionality. – landas Apr 23 '14 at 00:50

The libtasn1.3 library was replaced with libtasn1.6 as of the Trusty (14.04) release. For some reason you don't have the new library installed/used. Verify that you have it installed using:

sudo apt-get install libtasn1-6

If that doesn't work, upgrade your package too:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-upgrade

    Yes, is installed. I don't know why my software is looking for 1.3. – landas Apr 23 '14 at 00:40
  • @landas did you tried removing the programs? Try aptitude why libreoffice libtasn1-6 and add the results to your error. – Braiam Apr 23 '14 at 01:24
  • I did try to reinstall the programs, with no luck. I have now found the answer. Thank you very much for trying to help out. – landas Apr 23 '14 at 02:02

Solution: Remove file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/testlib.conf.

This problem was caused by me testing some Gnome developement last year.

The developement-enviroment had set up a /opt/testlib/ folder, with an old version of libgnutls26. The /opt/testlib/ folder was pointed to in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/testlib.conf.

I found the problem after analyzing all open(...)-calls in the strace-log.

Helping strace-log:

~$> strace filezilla
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinyxml.so.2.6.2", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
open("/opt/testlib/lib/libgnutls.so.26", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
...

Thank you for all help.

You may be able to fix this by installing libtasn1-3. This is a transitional package in Trusty, and you can install it using:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libtasn1-3-bin

  • Yes, it is installed. I even tried to completly reinstall it, but it has no effect on the error message. It does not install the libtasn1.so.3 library file. – landas Apr 23 '14 at 00:45
