Bug#917226: systemd: systemd-machine-id-setup: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-239.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Package: systemd
Version: 240-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm seeing the following error:

  $ sudo systemd-machine-id-setup
  systemd-machine-id-setup: error while loading shared libraries: libsystemd-shared-239.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

  $ ldd /usr/bin/systemd-machine-id-setup
          linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffdf39ec000)
          libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f188931b000)
          /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f1889505000)
          libsystemd-shared-239.so => not found

  $ dpkg -L systemd  | grep shared
  /lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-240.so

  $ ls -l /lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-240.so
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2,658,696 2018-12-22 15:01 /lib/systemd/libsystemd-shared-240.so

This was actually preventing package installation/upgrades as we call
systemd-machine-id-setup in systemd.postinst.

Any ideas? :)


Best wishes,
