After update package fontconfig causes ldconfig issue
 

When an update today run ldconfig, I noticed that there's something
wrong, caused by an update from yesterday.

[root@archlinux spinymouse]# ldconfig
ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so.1 is not an ELF file - it has the
wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so.1.6.2 is not an ELF file - it has
the wrong magic bytes at the start.

ldconfig: /usr/lib32/libfontconfig.so is not an ELF file - it has the
wrong magic bytes at the start.

[root@archlinux spinymouse]# pacman -Qi fontconfig | grep Install Date
Install Date : Fri Sep 7 07:18:11 2012
[root@archlinux spinymouse]# pacman -Ql fontconfig | grep libfontconfig
fontconfig /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so
fontconfig /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1
fontconfig /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1.6.2

The only cause for this could be updates. On my Arch those files aren't
from lib32-fontconfig.

Or a power blackout I had yesterday. But how should a power blackout
cause a broken header for a lib?

I guess forcing reinstallation would solve your problem.

I didn't recognized it for pacman -Ql :D. So it's solved now.

Oops, no, the blackout wasn't right after the update. It was hours
later. Arch did run, but I didn't use the computer. I tried to
troubleshout for the cause of voltage on the casing of my dishwasher and
accidentally turned off the circuit for my computer, instead of the
kitchen's circuit.
