Well... /etc isn't missing, at least.

When I run "strace /sbin/ldconfig" on my system, I see this line:

rename("/etc/ld.so.cache~", "/etc/ld.so.cache") = 0

So, it seems that your ldconfig is generating the /etc/ld.so.cache~ file,
or at least a partial one (12288 is a suspiciously ROUND number, being
precisely 3 times 4 kilobytes).  And then ... something bad happens before
it can rename it to /etc/ld.so.cache.  Or finish writing it.

Are you out of disk space?  Granted, I would have expected a DIFFERENT
error message in that case, but it's a thing to check.

You might consider simply copying the /usr/bin/strace file from a
different Debian system onto this one, just so you can run it.

OK. I happen to have Debian Stretch in a virtual machine for testing purposes.

strace is in /usr/bin on there.  I copied it to the host and ran it.

comp@AbNormal:~$ sudo ./strace
[sudo] password for comp:
./strace: must have PROG [ARGS] or -p PID
Try './strace -h' for more information.

I'm totally at sea here, which switch should iI use?

Also:

comp@AbNormal:~$ df -h
