This is NOT an error. "ldconfig" is the configuration for the shared library system. I believe that the "deferred processing" is something that's triggered by the install of certain packages, but which is not handled immediately for some reason.

In short - don't panic. There's nothing wrong.

This is not an error, or did you have other output?

http://linux.die.net/man/8/ldconfig
All the library config processes are deferred to the end of install rather than every time a package is installed when you have multiple updates for ex (saves time and bandwidth).
I cannot seem to find the ubuntu-devel thread that changed the behavior, that was several releases ago.

I'm not sure I understand. Which ubuntu release are you running, and which package are you trying to install? Please post the error to

sudo apt-get install <your package name here>
may be you do not have all the repositories enabled ?

[limanoit]

hahah btw. do you enable all other repositories that by default is not enabled by ubuntu?

i usually find the actual file off the internet and install myself . if I have all others repositories that would be helpful.. isnt it?

thanks..
