blabla is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

During my recent update, I had these messages... Any clue if this is an actual error? If it is, what should be done?

Looks like some libs are corrupted. Ask pacman which package owns them and try to reinstall this package(s). Also check if you have enough free space on disk (df -h)

They owned by libgda, which wasn't installed for some reason....
I installed it, but got the same message for that as well...

Re: blabla is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start

The two dots are very strange (never seen libs have two dots in a row). Don't know if that's part of the problem...

This has already been reported
