So I can't install anything because I don't have libc-bin, so when I try to get that, this happens.

So how do I get ldconfig?

Did you check to see if it existed anywhere in a directory that wasn't in your path?

 

Also, it sounds like you may be getting something from a repo that doesn't match your current version.

how?

[bking]

how?

Run 

find . -name 'ldconfig'

from /

 

If it finds it, note the location and then run

echo $PATH

and see if the dir from step 1 is in the results from step 2. If it's not, that's your issue. If step 1 finds nothing, then ldconfig is not on your machine, which sounds like a broken dependency (possibly due to you loading from a repo that doesn't match your version.

Also, what are you trying to install? I don't see a package name on the original command
