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.

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.
