Hi
I did a hard shutdown of a box yesterday and lost some files. (fsck
moved about 40 files to /lost+found). Now some useful commands such as
apt-get and startx are seg faulting, and I'm a bit lost. Using 'file' I
see that no files in /lost+found were ELF executables, most were "data".
The only suspicious thing I've noticed is that when I run 'ldconfig', I
get : ldconfig: /usr/lib is not a symbolic link
I've tried reinstalling a few debian packages (libc6, base-files,
base-config, ldso), but to no avail. A web search for the above
ldconfig message turns up no hits. This box has been problem-free for
probably 2 or 3 years, so it's not some old problem.
Has anyone had a similar problem? or can someone suggest some
diagnostics I should have run to figure out the problem?
thanks.
