How to deal with shared library problems in a non-working package
I installed bind-tools, the Arch linux alternative to dnsutils, but none of the tools work, all failing with the error:
host: error while loading shared libraries: libidn2.so.4: cannot open shared object files: No such file or directory
This problem with libidn2.so.4 seems to be a recent issue (January 2019) with Arch package builds and has apparently produced some pretty scary results, like making the entire system unbootable.
My questions are: (1) is the right approach to just wait until the maintainer of bind-tools fixes this problem, or to try to fix it myself? and (2) what exactly is going on? bind-tools requires libidn2.so.4 but does not install it? How could the maintainers possibly make such an error?
