Hey there, I was able to sucessfully deploy Mastodon with the 1 click app in a few minutes. However after I logged in via SSH and applied the suggested package upgrades, the site broke. I see this in the logs:
Unable to load application: LoadError: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /home/mastodon/live/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.0.0/gems/idn-ruby-0.1.4/lib/idn.so
bundler: failed to load command: puma (/home/mastodon/live/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.0.0/bin/puma)
/home/mastodon/live/vendor/bundle/ruby/3.0.0/gems/bootsnap-1.13.0/lib/bootsnap/load_path_cache/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:32:in `require’: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /home/mastodon/live/vendor/b>
It seems that the upgrade removed the libidn.so.11 library and I have not been able to reload it. I get messages saying that the package is already up to date, but it is not in that directory.
Any help is appreciated

Hello @mrroyce
You can check if the file is present here -
/usr/lib64/And then create a symlink
You can also try to create another symlink or manually create the missing directory which is mentioned in the error -
No such file or directoryHope that this helps!
