How to recover libudev.so.1

  • 772

By mistake, I overwrote /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libudev.so.1 and replaced it with a link.

You may have a look on this:

~$ ls /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -l | grep -i libudev
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      35 May 16 22:52 libudev.so.1 -> /usr/share/koala/koala/libudev.so.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  126840 May  5 22:25 libudev.so.1.6.4

How can I bring the libudev.so.1 back?

(I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit)

    I solved the problem by running this command:

    ~$ sudo apt install --reinstall libudev1

    As the result:

    ~$ ls /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -l | grep libudev
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 May  5 22:25 libudev.so.1 -> libudev.so.1.6.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  126840 May  5 22:25 libudev.so.1.6.4

  2. Try reinstalling the libudev1 package.

    apt-get download libudev1
sudo dpkg -i libudev1_229-4ubuntu4_amd64.deb

    or whatever the file is called.
