What happened? You didn’t include any information about what caused the misconfiguration. Was an update interrupted? Did you delete some libraries you shouldn’t have?

What have you tried so far to resolve the issue?

If you just want an easy fix: boot to your last working snapshot, restore the snapshot, reboot, and bring your system fully up to date. Restoring snapshots to get the system back to working state | Garuda Linux wiki

this worked, thank you

this is not a very helpful forum post. The way you wrote it makes it hard to understand what happened and how to resolve the issue.
Imagine somebody comes across this and finds that the only fix is to restore a snapshot. That is not a fix, but merely a rollback. What if the problem is caused by an update? Simply rolling back will not resolve the issue in this case since an upgrade would trigger the problem again.

So please, do us all a favour and explain what caused this problem, or at least what you did that resulted in this outcome.

If updating fails with this kind of error, the easiest (and probably more safe) thing would be trying rolling back. There seems to be a way to do it if there isn’t a snapshot that would help the issue and if the error stops you updating and getting packages in the typical manner (which most likely rule out fixing it with garuda-update related commands too)… but the process is far from pretty and I am unsure how safe it would be for some users to attempt:

(talks about a different shared library, but the process should be similar)
