Hi Greg It occurred when Ubuntu was doing it's first update and was interrupted or failed part way through the the download and installation of update packages. It wrote some garbage in the file and when it tried to recover and redo the update installation it choked on the characters written to the file on the failed attempt. When I cleared the file it did the right thing and has not been a problem since.
I could try to re-produce it on the next update if you wish and let you know or just let anyone know that the error means there is a partial line written or garbage characters in the ldconfig file. By the way...nice work on this distro...I am so not used to things working right out of the gate..I am a Slackware/Redhat user this is a pleasant experience so far. Similar to Redhat...some things are in different places and called different things. It will take a little time to get my self sorted out...great work!
