Bug Description

Viking versions 1.5.1-1 (wily) and 1.6-1 (xenial) both are compiled against libmapnik 2.2, which has been superseded by libmapnik 3.0 in wily and up. This prevents Viking from starting with the following error:

viking: error while loading shared libraries: libmapnik.so.2.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Compiling Viking from source with libmapnik 3.0 works as expected.

I've reassigned this to the viking package, because it's not something the mapnik package can fix.

viking is not a reverse dependency of mapnik in Debian, so I wonder how this is being picked up in Ubuntu.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

Like the previous commenter, I'm curious how this problem occurs since viking starts without any problems, and I don't even seem to have libmapnik installed:
$ apt-cache policy libmapnik*
libmapnik2-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:
libmapnik3.0:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.9+ds-1
  Version table:
     3.0.9+ds-1 500
        500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
libmapnik-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 3.0.9+ds-1
  Version table:
     3.0.9+ds-1 500
        500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages

Could you please check whether you some additional plugins or extra information which would explain why it complains about libmapnik. Also could you please run the following command to automatically gather debugging information for this issue, in a terminal:
apport-collect 1539405
