Today's base-files update removed the /lib64 symlink, which isn't too healthy because each binary has /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 hardcoded as its interpreter. You can still run binaries using /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /usr/bin/whatever A good one to try is /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 /bin/ln -s /lib /lib64 which cures the problem. Regards, Daniel.
