Since the openssl update, whenever I install or update a package with pacman, I've got this message as the last pacman output line when a package is installed (a new package or an update) /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link But everything runs fine AFAIK. I'm using x86_64. Does someone know where is it coming from ? And How can I get rid off this message ? -- slubman site : http://www.slubman.info/

See lines 556-571 of lib/libalpm/util.c. Thats where it comes from (I think. I profess not to be able to read/understand source code. I can run a pretty mean grep -nR "sbin/ldconfig" * on the pacman source tree though. Tell us, what files do you have under /etc/ld.so.conf.d/* and what are their contents? Also, do you run a multi-lib system (mixed i686 and x86_64 libs?)

I doesn't run a multi-lib system. AFAIK i only have 64bits packages : $ pacman -Qi | grep 'Architecture :' | grep i686 | wc -l 0 And here are the files in /etc/ld.co.conf.d/ $ ls /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ fakeroot.conf qt3.conf xulrunner.conf I can't find ant reference to /usr/lib in those files. -- slubman site : http://www.slubman.info/

I have the same message on my laptop, and it is due to the libspotify package: the libspotify.so library misses the SONAME header (see http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/topics/libspotify_please_fix_the_installa... for details). It is possible that a library on your system also lacks this header; not sure it's related to openssl though. HTH Regards, -- Thomas/Schnouki

Regards,

Thanks for the explanation. I indeed have libsptofify installed. Once removed, the message doesn't appear. -- slubman site : http://www.slubman.info/
