logid.service fails to start due to libconfig 1.8.1 update

[IcEarthlight]

After upgrading libconfig from 1.8-1 to 1.8.1-1, logid.service fails to start with the following error:

$ sudo systemctl restart logid.service
$ sudo systemctl status logid.service

Downgrading libconfig back to 1.8-1 resolves the issue.

$ paru -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libconfig-1.8-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Same problem here on Arch.

Lucky symlink libconfig++.so.15 > libconfig++.so.11 fixes the issue for me. Note that you might have to reconnect the dongle after starting; or at least I had to in order to recognize the mouse.

This workaround works:

1. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libconfig++.so.15 /usr/lib/libconfig++.so.11
2. sudo systemctl restart logid.service
