I just did a "pacman -Syu" and upgraded to the latest version of current (or core) in the repos. But when I run "ldconfig -v", I get the following warning message:
"ldconfig: cannot stat /usr/lib/libhistory.so : no such file or directory"
It looks like my libhistory.so has disappeared. Are others having this problem? Is there a way to fix the problem?

I did a quick look for libhistory.so. It exists on my system in /usr/lib. Why does ldconfig think it is missing?

I think I tracked down the source of the bug. One of the packages that was upgraded on my system was readline. Readline is the package that installs the libhistory library. but during the last upgrade the readline package broke important symlinks.
/usr/lib/libhistory.so is a symlink pointing to libhistory.so.5
libhistory.so.5 does not exist anymore in /usr/lib. It is now in /lib.
( FYI -- libhistory.so.5 is also a symlink point to libhistory.so.5.2 (which does exisit in /lib))
It looks like there is a bug in the readline package. Any thoughts?
