    Hi guys I am running Fedora 42 Workstation - and have had Veracrypt installed for weeks now and today it stopped work.

    So i removed it via Command line and all dependencies, re downloaded the RPM package from Vera's website and still won't open

    I tried running it from CLI and get this error.

    veracrypt: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Now I installed all the libfuse files even xterm

    @fedora:~$ sudo dnf install libfuse2
    Updating and loading repositories:
    Repositories loaded.
    Failed to resolve the transaction:
    No match for argument: libfuse2
    You can try to add to command line:
    --skip-unavailable to skip unavailable packages
    @fedora:~$ sudo dnf install fuse-libs
    Updating and loading repositories:
    Repositories loaded.
    Package "fuse-libs-2.9.9-23.fc42.i686" is already installed.

    And even when I click the veracrpyt icon in panel or in CLI i get the same error?

    Can someone please shed some light on this??

    Thank you

    @redjones888: I cannot reproduce this issue on a cleanly installed Fedora 42. VeraCrypt rpm package explicitly depends on fuse-libs which provides libfuse2 library so its dependency is managed automatically by dnf.

    Obvisouly has messed up with your fuse installation since libfuse.so.2 should be present at /usr/lib64/libfuse.so.2 (you can check manually if the file is there).

    I would suggest to reinstall fuse-libs using the command: sudo dnf reinstall fuse-libs
