The line underlined appears to be the problem. Note that
/etc/ld.so.preload doesn't exist on any of my systems, not sure what it
is about.
- Does /etc/ld.so.cache exist?
- Is it world-readable:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46925 Jan 29 13:29 /etc/ld.so.cache
- Try running "ldconfig" as root and try running 'apt-get update'
again. I believe this rebuilds the ld.so.cache and may repair
corruption in this file.
Suggestions from others welcomed. This problem looks *really* familiar,
but I can't remember from what or how I got out of it.
