libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link
After the installation of any programs I get the following error
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.23-0ubuntu7) ...
/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link
/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 is not a symbolic link
What is this error and how can I solve it?
did you upgrade without update first? I had the same message, I updated, upgraded and the message was gone
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
This is an issue which has affected many users and is
reported as a bug at Launchpad.
There appears to be a conflict between different versions of libEGL.
To get rid of these warning, create the following symlinks (but first read the warning bellow):
sudo mv /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1.org
sudo mv /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1.org
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.375.39 /usr/lib/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.375.39 /usr/lib32/nvidia-375/libEGL.so.1
Warning: There is no need to change your system. If after reboot you can not start the graphical interface you can solve by:
1. Login into a terminal;
2. Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure nvidia*
The following is an easy-to-use version of Noisy_Botnet’s solution. It facilitates repeating the process for any update.
#! /bin/sh
#
# find the file in /usr/lib

I had the same issue and ended up getting through it; it had worked before.
I have Cuda 8.0 and Tensorflow 1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04.
This is how I resolved the issue.
First,
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then,
sudo ldconfig /usr/local/cuda/lib64
It works now. The execution order matters.
