Hello.
My friend Arthur Demchenkov says he found a bug in nALFS-1.2.5 that
causes the /etc/ld.so.conf file to be corrupted under certain conditions.
Here's the original message that Arthur sent to me:
8<----------------------------------------
There's a bug in nALFS-1.2.5
It's located in "search and replace" subroutine.
I found that when I reinstalled Xorg my ld.so.conf file was corrupted...
You can check if the bug appear in your nALFS version.
1) Place the example ld.so.conf file in your /etc directory
2) Run blfs-profile
3) Chapter 25 -> xorg 6.8.2 -> Installing -> Search and replace and Dump
text (not really necessary)
4) As you can see ld.so.conf is corrupted, I hope you made backup ;-)
The bug will be reproduced also when making replacing in the end of any
file.
So there may be a need in checking if your profiles corrupt some user
packages.
Best regardz.

And here's the example ld.so.conf file mentioned by Arthur:
8<-------------------------------------------
# Begin /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/local/lib
/opt/lib
# End /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/X11R6/lib
---------------------------------------->8
And the patch for the nALFS-1.2.5 sources:
8<-------------------------------------------------
