From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

ldconfig
sets up links and caches for loading library code. That might be an issue if your install is broken between updates. You can useldd
to check if code can be looked up.ldd /usr/lib/x86-64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so.0
should show no errors. Likewise forldd /usr/sbin/init
.(Your paths may vary)
Ok, so Synaptic Package Manager states that it's installed in the exact location you say that it's supposed to be in but ldd states "No such file or directory". What's going on here?
You have a typo: It should be
x86_64
, notx86-64
Oops, anyways it seems to have been found this time. I did reinstall it already but I wont know if it fixed the issue until tonight.
