Hi, that sounds like a very odd and scary set of error messages. If
you're still having this problem and still trying to work through it
can you let us know more about your computer? I.e. what version of
Ubuntu are you running, do you know when this error started and do you
know what changes you made prior to that? You may want to look in
/var/log/apt/history.log

Try typing ldconfig --help and see if you get a helpful message or if
you get an error saying the command wasn't found.
