InTime

How to fix “libQt5DBus.so.5: symbol dbus_message_get_allow_interactive_authorization” when starting InTime?

Symptom:

When starting InTime, you encounter an error message containing:

“intime: symbol lookup error: bin7/libQt5DBus.so.5: undefined symbol: symbol dbus_message_get_allow_interactive_authorization.”

or similar.

This is due to the fact that the libdbus version in the system is lower than 1.6, and usually happens for Centos 7.4 and below.

Resolution:

Upgrade the system libdbus library.
