ldconfig: file ... is truncated error

[Hiraghm]

When I do a sudo apt update / upgrade, the upgrade finishes by showing me two dozen files that are "truncated", such as "/usr/lib/libXrandr.so.2" and "/usr/lib/libwayland-egl.so.1"...

What is causing this, and how can I fix it?

My system seems to be running fine, but it has me worried.

Could it be that you used patchelf, https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf? Seems that is/was an issue with it...

In any case, I'm on the main edition but for me:

Code: Select all

rene@p55m:~$ dpkg -S libXrandr.so.2 libwayland-egl.so.1
libxrandr2:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrandr.so.2
libxrandr2:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libXrandr.so.2.2.0
libwayland-egl1:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1
libwayland-egl1:amd64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwayland-egl.so.1.0.0

For all in your case mentioned packages for the damaged libs, I'd do e.g.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxrandr2 libwayland-egl1

I tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall libxrandr2 libwayland-egl1

And at the end they were still listed among the truncated files.

I'm as said on the main edition, and although I'd expect the package names to be same on LMDE, them not being so is the only suggestion I've left to consider; you'd use the given advise to make sure. Otherwise not an idea.
