How to fix Rust tools that bind libgit2.so

September 8, 2022

Recently, after a system update, I became not able to run some of the system tools written on Rust, like exa and bat

$ bat --version                                                                ~
bat: error while loading shared libraries: libgit2.so.1.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The fix was easy: rebuild a binary

$ cargo install exa bat --force
