[solved] ldconfig errors after upgrade

I am getting the following errors when I run ldconfig.  This also seems to be preventing X from starting.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXi.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXi.so.6.1.0 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXi.so.6 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib/libXcomposite.so.1.0.0 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start.

Anyone know what's going on here and how I can correct it?  I tried searching on here and I wasn't able to really come up wih anything.  Thanks in advance.

Probably package corruption.  Do pacman -Sf libxi libxcomposite.
