ABI version mismatch

'Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 1, cannot load

I'm using irssi 0.8.18 and irssi-otr 1.0.0 on Arch Linux. This was all working a couple of weeks ago.

this is affecting all debian testing (and above) users as well: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=818590

i think the short fix is just to rebuild the plugin. to quote the Debian bug report above:

irssi needs to arrange to provide a virtual package, e.g. irssi-abi-1
and must ensure that plugins pick up a proper dependency on this virtual
package. Once the abi changes (and the virtual package is renamed), this
will visibly trigger a transition.

There are several packages in the archive doing this, I think proftpd is
one of them.

Hopefully fixed with #62

I can confirm the latest master fixes this issue for me.

i have uploaded a new version in debian sid that, according to my friendly testers, fixes the issue as well.

This problem now happens on fedora.

I'm having this issue on Gentoo as well with irssi v0.8.20-r1 and irssi-otr v1.0.0-r1 in Portage Package Manager. I updated irssi-otr-1.0.0-r1 to pull in irssi-otr-1.0.1 but seems i still get the error about the ABI version. Is there a newer version than irssi-otr-1.0.1? I guessed at the version number when doing the ebuild, but it seemed to pull in a tar for it.

irssi 0.8.20 (20160914 1355) here. I have the same problem.

I just pushed v1.0.2 with the ABI fix. Make sure to install libotr.so in the modules/ directory so irssi can call the right abicheck that is "otr_abicheck()". For some reasons, irssi also triese libotr_core.so but that will fail so the package must really install libotr.so

I'll keep that in mind. Normally, other debian maintainers can package that update, but I suspect I'll be the one doing this if no one does before january.

Hi and HNY! Just ran into this after recompiling irssi. With above info i should be able to figure it out but i'm afraid i'm not for ea5b8e0:

/load otr
-!- Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 13 but Irssi is version 19, cannot load

$ irssi --version
irssi 1.2-gc7ce0f32 (20181218 2053)

irssi-libotr$ make install
...
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/libotr.so /home/traumschule/usr/lib/irssi/modules/libotr.so

$ ls -l ~/.irssi/modules/libotr.so

In #irssi i was told to just compile irssi with ./configure --with-otr and it worked.

[Rhialto]

I just tried that with the latest released version from the website https://irssi.org/download/ (1.1.2) and configure did not recognize that option.

It's only in git so far and will be in 1.2, see irssi/irssi#881
