[SOLVED] ldconfig: /usr/lib/$NAME is empty, not checked.

Eadword · 2017-04-27 17:29:52

I was running updates a day or two ago, and my laptop decided it would be a wonderful time for a hard-crash which I had to forcefully reboot from. I had hopped it was only in the downloading phase, but when I realized a program would not load for no apparent reason today, I realized this is not so.

I already fixed that specific program using a forceful installation, but one artifact remaining from the poorly-timed crash remains--every time I run pacman, it yields the following:

ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libmaildir.so.5.5.0 is empty, not checked.
ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libakonadi-filestore.so.5.5.0 is empty, not checked.

ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libKEduVocDocument.so is empty, not checked.
ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libKEduVocDocument.so.5 is empty, not checked.

I have found some simmilar posts, but in most of their cases they usually were able to find the owner of the files and then reinstall them, in my case I have run

pacman -Qo $NAME

on some of the packages, and all that I have tested on have yielded no owner. Same result with pkgfile.

Is it safe to just delete these files? It seems like that would be too easy...

Should be found by Pacman#Search_for_a_package_that_contains_a_specific_file
Would recomend checking all packages for corruption with

$ pacman -Qkk

and trying a search engine to locate the creator of the other files.

Ah, thank you, yes that is finding the package owners.

I am guessing that I should go ahead and reinstall the packages which are resulted from the pacman -Fs searches and then verify the warnings are fixed?

I would also reinstall every package that produced a "mtree: Unrecognized archive format" warning and kdepim-runtime because of the multiple size mismatch warnings.
The size mismatch for linux / linux-ck is expected as those packages install scripts run depmod.

Thank you again, everything seems to be back to normal now.
