[SOLVED] why am I getting ldconfig pacman errors?
Hi,
This is a brand new Arch install on a thumb drive.
I just installed openssh, xterm & xeyes and got loads of messages like:
https://pastebin.com/FXkDgYPh
and i don't know what to do with it.
This just appeared after I just did
a pacman -Syyu before, it installed x265-3.2.1-1
and when I do this again I get the following:
[ron@DesktopRon ~]$ sudo pacman -Syyu

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.What does this mean? And how can I fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] why am I getting ldconfig pacman errors?
Something is very broken on your installation. I'm guessing something went wrong with the USB connection while there was data still being written to disk that has left a bunch of damaged files around.
You could try "pacman -Syu $(pacman -Qenq)" to reinstall every package on your system, but I would recommend reinstalling since it's a fresh install already.

Yep, I ended up reinstalling the whole thing onto a proper rust spinning disk, not having any problems there...
