It seems the tsm client override with the system libglib-2.0.so.0?

Sorry for a typo error in one of my commands, please provide the output of

ls -l /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0

Yes, that is what I also conclude, some of the .so files for the tsm client seem to interfere with the system .so files (by providing an older version).

Oops, and another error, please show

Do you have an idea getting apt-dater to know where the system libglib-2.0 is? Or should I contact the ibm support for a workaround?

1. The libglib-2.0.so file provided by tsm is smaller and older, and probably does not contain the functions needed by apt-dater.

2. I assume that it is a matter of priority setting. Currently the search path probably is defines to have /opt/tivoli/... before /lib/... and this leads to the fact that the older .so file is found first. Reversing the sequence should make apt-dater work. (I cannot predict whether that will have a negative effect on the function of the tsm client.)

Thx Manfred, this change order in ld.so.conf helps. The tsm client might be running, several tests are OK.

Now I've to check the validity error.

Thanks Manfred Hampl, that solved my question.

The environment variable ${prefix} could not be used, so I changed all apt-dater xml-files from ${prefix} to "/usr". Know I can use apt-dater. :-)

Happy to hear that the problem is solved.

For the value error I think the solution is in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=826403
(replace the string ${prefix} by /usr in .config/apt-dater/apt-dater.xml and .config/apt-dater/hosts.xml)
