I recently ran into an XFS bug on my system that causes ldconfig to abort() early: epsilon ~ # ldconfig; echo $? Aborted 134 However env-update does not properly check and propagate the return code for ldconfig and env-update silently fails without any indication to the user: epsilon ~ # env-update; echo $? >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... 0 At a minimum I would expect env-update to return some error code. Even better would be to print a warning saying ldconfig failed and something is likely VERY WRONG on the system. Using strace I confirmed env-update is running ldconfig and that ldconfig is failing and it's not being reported. Tested on sys-apps/portage-3.0.46::gentoo with sys-libs/glibc-2.37-r3:2.2::gentoo
For those who are curious, the XFS bug/original issue was discussed at https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1164198.html and has a great writeup there.
