Xorg fails with "/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1: invalid ELF header"

After upgrade, Xorg fails with the following message:

(EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1: invalid ELF header)
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
openbox: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1: invalid ELF header

(I also get en error about fbcon, fbdev modules, but have read that this is not actually an issue.)

Thanks for any help.

Maybe you installed 64-bit libexpat on a 32-bit system?

Re: Xorg fails with "/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1: invalid ELF header"

If it were different architectures, there would be an ELF class error. Assuming that all of the installed libraries are from the Arch repos, I'm betting that expat is corrupt. I would reinstall expat and see if that solves the problem.
