Unable to run vagrant on opensuse leap 16: libreadline.so.8: undefined symbol: UP

[HolgerHees]

I tested vagrant 2.4.9 and 2.4.10.dev+000573-f2960d54

If I run vagrant without any arguments (arguments does not matter) I got the following error.

bash: /tmp/.mount_vagranMIMelF/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8: no version information available (required by bash)
bash: /tmp/.mount_vagranMIMelF/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8: no version information available (required by bash)
bash: /tmp/.mount_vagranMIMelF/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8: no version information available (required by bash)
bash: /tmp/.mount_vagranMIMelF/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8: no version information available (required by bash)
bash: symbol lookup error: /tmp/.mount_vagranMIMelF/usr/lib/libreadline.so.8: undefined symbol: UP

I'm using opensuse leap 16, but I think, vagrant is an AppImage, so the underlying os libs should not matter.

I can confirm that the issue is reproducible.
For reference, it’s possible to run Vagrant by extracting the AppImage and removing the bundled libreadline library

$ ./vagrant --appimage-extract
$ rm squashfs-root/usr/lib/libreadline.so*
$ ./squashfs-root/AppRun
Usage: vagrant [options] <command> [<args>]

    -h, --help                       Print this help.

Hopefully this can be resolved soon.

Hi @HolgerHees ,

This certainly seems quite interesting, I wonder if hashicorp/vagrant-installers#314 could be the cause for it, is it at all possible to test if Vagrant works with a new version of the dependency, although I am not sure it will.

Thanks!

@taru-garg-hashicorp I tested build 2.4.8.dev+000526-c70e8ab3 from 20. June 2025 (which should not contain the fix) and the problem exists there too.

@HoyeonRhee I tested your fix and this works!
