[09:48] hi all [10:27] hi. i think i crashed my package management. whenever i try to install something it end up with "ldconfig not found". Solutions i found via the web are all not working so far. anyone got a suggestion? [10:27] ls [10:34] tbnbuddha: please can you give a concrete detailed error message [10:34] or is it just ldconfig not found ? [10:36] i throws me just this error message [10:37] it [10:39] tbnbuddha: that sounds like a broken system. Is the package libc-bin installed ? [10:41] it is but when i try to reinstall it it says ldconfig is missing :) [10:42] the was also a message that a package is broken. did not not which one it was but i think it was libc6 or libc-bin, one of those [10:44] tbnbuddha: it seems libc-bin is broken as it contains ldconfig. Which version of Lubuntu ? [10:45] some kind of 14.xx [10:45] how can i check this? [10:45] i am a beginner on linux [10:54] tbnbuddha: lsb_release -r as terminal command should show you the version [10:55] 14.04 [11:01] tbnbuddha: then download the correct package for your architecture 32bit (i386) 64bit (amd64) from here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/libc-bin [11:01] and install it by doube clicking on the deb file downloaded. That will hopefully bring back ldconfig which allows you to repair the rest of the system [11:02] ok i will try that [11:07] the package manager told me thatz there is no "lintian" available and i should install it with apt-get. If i try that it says "ldconfig" not found [11:08] when i try to install the downloaded libc-bin package [11:08] isn't it an option to just open the package with a package manager and copy the ldconfig out of it? [11:12] tbnbuddha: can you force install it with dpkg --force-all -i /path/to/the/debfile.deb [11:12] i try that [11:15] he does it but ldconfig is still missing after that [11:16] when i try to install "make" after that for example with apt-get [11:16] or when i try to do "apt-get -f install" [11:27] tbnbuddha: hmm... /sbin/ldconfig does not exist ? [11:27] yep. it is there [11:27] it is not there [11:28] sorry [11:28] i installed without i-net connection because wifi wasn't detected automaticly [11:29] after i tried to install needed packages after it, it ended like this [11:31] in the evening i have a second pc when i am at home. then i can create a new usb stick to install it freshly. seems to complicated to fix this without [11:32] yeah needs some digging around what actually is broken overall [11:34] but lots of thanks you guys so far. i appreciate it
