Comment 17 for bug 1236642

Same bug after some updates in ubuntu 13.10. I had to reistall after having tried all methods of all gurus around. Reinstall over same OS failed with same error. No idea why. It seems that someone in the web solved this error putting back the link in the /lib/lib64 folder.

ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.17.so ld-linux-x86-64.so.2

This seems a common problem in ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10. Everything is intact in the filesystem with exception of that small file.

I would reopen this thread due to the frequency of this bug. Looking around in the web many users had this problem after regular updates of the OS.
