system install error - fakeroot.conf exists

Anytime I run system install, I'm presented with the following error: fakeroot: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fakeroot.conf exists in filesystem I can rename or remove that file and run the command again and everything works correctly. However, the next time I run system install, the same thing happens. Any ideas?

@Rudra | blendOS, Ubuntu Unity was saying it's a bug.

for the time being I just set up a substitute bash function for system install that removes the fakeroot.conf file before running the install.

can you show the function?

this is from memory, as I'm not on my blend system, but I have a .functions file in my home directory which is sourced when zsh is loaded. I place a function inside that file like below:
function sysinstall {
sudo rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fakeroot.conf && sudo system install $1
}
function sysinstall {
sudo rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fakeroot.conf && sudo system install $1
}
Once you add the new funtion, be sure to either source the file directly or source bash/zsh/etc. calling sysinstall neovim will first remove the fakeroot.conf file then install neovim correctly. you could also add a check to make sure the file exists before you try to delete it if you want, or rename it instead of deleting.
