[SOLVED] libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short

Hello,

I'm (fairly) new to Arch and this forum, I love it, but I'm still learning. Yesterday morning I updated my computer using the terminal before starting X and my computer ran into some kind of weird glitch with the cpu cores that interrupted the update and it screwed up the file I think its truncated and Firefox and Discord won't start it throws up this error message.

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libmozgtk.so:
/usr/lib/libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I have no idea what to do.

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local

# REPOSITORIES

# Repository entries are of the format:

#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and

Re: [SOLVED] libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short

The mtree is shredded.

sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files' > /tmp/howbadisit.txt
cat /tmp/howbadisit.txt | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: [SOLVED] libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short

The error is from ld and says hardly more than the library is there but ill-formed. Corrupt. Ends unexpectedly.

man mtree
ls /var/lib/pacman/local/*/mtree | wc -l

Re: [SOLVED] libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short

<EDIT>
@seth:

$ LC_ALL=C diff -s <( pacman -Qqn | wc -l ) <( ls /var/lib/pacman/local/*/mtree | wc -l )
Files /dev/fd/63 and /dev/fd/62 are identical

Gotcha
</EDIT>

$ ls /var/lib/pacman/local/*/mtree | wc -l
1228

The error is from ld and says hardly more than the library is there but ill-formed. Corrupt. Ends unexpectedly.

Damaged storage and/or filesystem?

Re: [SOLVED] libtracker-sparql-3.0.so.0: file too short

Yes; In this case likely because of the "aborted" update.
The output was to show you where pacman stores the package mtrees, I don't really care how many packages you've installed

These packages are fundamentally broken, you'll have to re-install them w/ "--dbonly" first before actually re-installing them to avoid the file conflicts

warning: materialx: /usr/share/mime/model/materialx.xml (No such file or directory)

This file seems missing, unless deliberate (eg. bcause you didn't want that mime entry) you'll have to explcitily re-install materialx to regain it.

The rest looks unsuspicious (locally modified files that are plausibly modified locally)
