Linphone 3.6.1 Fedora 31 stunParseHostName
What is wrong?
Having upgraded from Fedora 30 to Fedora 31 - I now find that my Linphone does not work, it does not even start. The installed version of Linphone is linphone-3.6.1-32.fc31.rpm
What is happening?
Clicking on the icon nothing happens.
Running it from the console it errors straight away and returns the prompt.
linphone: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libmediastreamer_voip.so.3: undefined symbol: stunParseHostName
How did I fix it?
The issue is apparently with ortp which handles all the RTP calls - hence the error. The version it has installed (at the moment) for F31 is 1:0.24.2-2.fc31. This appears to be where the issue is.
I removed Linphone with a yum remove Linphone (to avoid the obvious issues with dependencies) first of all. This leaves any configuration in place remember.
yum search --showduplicates ortp regretfully showed that I had a choice of that package or nothing. So I sourced the earlier version from Fedora 30
yum install ortp-0.23.0-9.fc30.i686.rpm
Which in turn pulls in a number of dependencies.
Now reinstalling linphone I no longer get any dependency issues, or warnings, it starts, pulls in the existing configuration, and works.
Happy days.

‘sudo dnf downgrade ortp –releasever=30’ does the trick without the need to remove any package.
Thank you Tiger – much better solution :)
Thank you both for this blog post and the command to downgrade ORTP.
BTW, the light grey text on a white background is difficult for older eyes to read.
Friday 3rd January 2020 – and update for this for Fedora 31 has been released.
This moved from 1:0.23.0-9.fc30 to 2:0.23.0-1.fc31.
“ortp-0.24.2 was broken, and was reverted on f30, but accidentally got kept on f31. This restores a working ortp and lets linphone-3.6.1 work again.”
So this would involve anything you added to /etc/dnf/plugins/versionlock.list and then installing the package:
yum install ortp-2:0.23.0-1.fc31.x86_64
The installation does not appear to break functionality – it launches, and fails to present with the same issues – progress!
Good times.
