Problem after update to 13.1: cannot find libblkid.so.1

Hi. Yesterday I made upgrade to Slackware64 13.1 and after rebooting I get this scary error:

Code:

/sbin/fsck: error while loading shared libraries: libblkid.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

then I get the chance to go into single-user mode and fix the problem. Any ideas what can cause that problem and how can I fix it ?

I don't know how you upgraded and from where, and if you followed any instructions from CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT, and if you used the right architecture. Anyway, that library can be found in the util-linux-ng, and it should be installed in /lib.

I had exactly the same problem, after upgrading from 13 to 13.1

But I have to say, I did the upgrade while using KDE, browser and music player, so the errors on upgrading were all because of me

I've reinstalled Slack13, and soon I will try to upgrade again, but on runlevel 1

Lol, same with me

The problem is that in the moment I cannot obtain slack cd, so I guess I'll try obtaining this lib with usb flash from my desktop pc.

Here, libblkid.so.1 is a symlink to libblkid.so.1.1.0, included with util-linux-ng package.
