[SOLVED] /sbin/ldconfig: File [...] is empty, not checked

After each successful update, I get these messages from pacman:

/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libFS.so.6 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libFS.so is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libFS.so.6.0.0 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libdv.so is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libdv.so.4 is empty, not checked.
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libdv.so.4.0.3 is empty, not checked.

What are these files good for? Where did their contents go? Should I miss them?

you need to reinstall the packages that own those files.

maybe you had a hard reset and you have ext4?

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Or a full disk?

Thanks for your help! I had a hard reset and a full disk and I have ext4

pacman -Qo tells me nobody owns these files, so I deleted them. No messages from pacman anymore. I'm still curious how I got them, though.

$ pacman -Qo  /usr/lib/libFS.so.6 /usr/lib/libdv.so
/usr/lib/libFS.so.6 is owned by libfs 1.0.3-1
/usr/lib/libdv.so is owned by libdv 1.0.0-3

So you might want to reinstall libfs and libdv.

Re: [SOLVED] /sbin/ldconfig: File [...] is empty, not checked

It seems like after the deletion of the two files, pacman had stopped working as expected: After syncing, there was no "there is nothing to do" message any more. When I tried to reinstall, it told me the source (!) files on my HDD were damaged. After redownloading and installing, ignoring the amazing number of file conflicts, everything seems to work fine

I don't really have a clue what's going on.
