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?5 Replies
@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.Yeah I got you!
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:
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.
