I uninstalled json-c library on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using # make uninstall and removed all rest json-c with:

# find / -name "*json-c*" -exec rm -rf {} /;

after reboot, can not log into system - Log In loop

# cat ~/.xsession-error
openConnection: connect: No such file or directory
cannot connect to brltty at :0
/sbin/upstart: error while loading shared libraries: libjson-c.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Tried to reinstall json-c, it gives me a library named libjson-c.so.3 but not 2.

And system is under systemd, right? 

# ps -e | grep systemd
1 ? 00:00:02 systemd

UPDATE: here is how i fixed broken package

# apt-get download libjson-c2
# dpkg -i libjson-c2ww

    Hi, I suggest you to use specific StackExchange site called Ask Ubuntu. – ilMattion May 23 '17 at 21:12
  • Is this a programming question or a user question? I cannot tell. – halfer May 23 '17 at 21:43

  • My first question, will do my best. It is a question related to Operation System, not strictly programming, rather something between. Thank you for pointing out. – mr13 May 23 '17 at 21:51

Your find command removed more than just what was installed from the source install.

# apt -y install libjson-c2
