/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't stat /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

When I run ldconfig on my Ubuntu box, I get the warning:

/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't stat /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

This is not causing any problems yet AFAIK, but I want to 'fix' it, incase it comes back to bite me later on. Does anyone know why I am getting this message - and how do I fix it?

The other answers didn't work for me, I fixed with below commands

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/libc-bin.*
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install libc-bin

None of the solutions have had helped me. The only thing that did was simple

sudo apt install libc-bin

A similar error occurred now on Debian 11 under WSL2. The fix was to create the directory in /usr/local/lib, as mentioned by Miguel Gualdron (sorry, can't comment, and maybe it's better to have this as info for Debian too). The full error message is below.

I had the same issue, and I believe this is intended to be a directory location for Multiarch support. See file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu.conf.

The way I got the error to go away was to create the directory, as it did not exist in my machine. I ran this as root:

mkdir /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
