Percona Xtrabackup Linux Generic Backups are not working On SUSE15.6 MySQL 8.4.7

Backups are failing with the following error.

xtrabackup: error while loading shared libraries: libproc2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

We figured out an alternative by installing libproc2-1-4.0.5-2.1.x86_64.rpm , however I would like to know if there is any way that this issue will be fixed in the future releases?

SUSE:
NAME=“SLES”
VERSION=“15-SP6”
VERSION_ID=“15.6”
PRETTY_NAME=“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP6”
ID=“sles”
ID_LIKE=“suse”
ANSI_COLOR=“0;32”
CPE_NAME=“cpe:/o:suse:sles:15:sp6”
DOCUMENTATION_URL=“https://documentation.suse.com/”

Xtrabackup: The following both versions are having the same problem
percona-xtrabackup-8.4.0-4-Linux-x86_64.glibc2.39-minimal
percona-xtrabackup-8.4.0-5-Linux-x86_64.glibc2.39-minimal

Hi @trimurthy

You should use tarball for glibc2.34.

Thanks for the quick response Vadim I really appreciated.
As you suggested tried with percona-xtrabackup-8.4.0-5-Linux-x86_64.glibc2.34.tar.gz and backup is working fine.

May I know if there is any specific glibc2.3x should be used on 15.6?

I tried the following both & they didn’t worked earlier.

percona-xtrabackup-8.4.0-5-Linux-x86_64.glibc2.36.tar.gz
percona-xtrabackup-8.4.0-5-Linux-x86_64.glibc2.39.tar.gz

Thank You

RHEL 9 is the closest match to openSUSE Leap 15.6 in terms of era, toolchain, and lifecycle and it’s working on glibc2.34.
