Inconsistency detected by ld.so

I have this problem with the final version of Edgy Eft.
When I try to start firefox:

alex@ubuntu:~$ firefox
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 610: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

but when I start again, this don't happen.

alex@ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu 2.6.17-10-generic #2 SMP Fri Oct 13 18:45:35 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) has reached end of life and is not supported anymore. So we are closing this report. If this is still an issue, can you try with latest Ubuntu release and re-open if needed ? Thanks in advance and don't hesitate to fill any new bug you may find.

I have get the same error, running a fresh install of 9.10 whilst trying to run `wget`:

spaculo@spaculo-desktop:~$ wget
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

Same error msg here whn I start pidgin or emesene! Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 with all the updates!

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 628: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 8' failed!

The same error when I start Firefox in Ubuntu 9.10.
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

Just ran update manager before heading to class this morning, everything working fine for about 2 weeks on this install until whatever updates hit this morning. Now:

laptop:~$ firefox
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

Ran in debug and got this info: Program exited with code 0177.

Linux laptop 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

On ubuntu 9.10 386 desktop, updated, I got

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 256: dl_open_worker: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args->nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

once just now while building Chromium in Visual C++ 2005 in Wine.

Happened again later in the run. I should mention this is an 8 core machine,
and devenv.exe has seven cl.exe's spawned, so it's pretty busy.

As far as I can tell, this breaks every possibility of upgrades: apt-get, aptitude, synaptic and update-manager are all affected. Dpkg is not, however.

This seems to be a very un-informative message, so all these cases might as well be different bugs. For the record: my error was probably caused by pulling some packages from Lucid into Karmic - and solved by updating to Lucid's aptitude.

This happened to me suddenly this morning (after resuming from standby) when starting Pidgin. The message differs trivially from those above:

% pidgin
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h: 640: elf_machine_rel_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xff) == 8' failed!

% uname -a
Linux anapneo 2.6.32-29-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 11 19:00:09 UTC 2011 i686 GNU/Linux

I am running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04.02 LTS. What other debugging data would be useful?

From this forum thread[1], I gather that the problem goes away after a while. Any idea how to trigger this improvement?

Tried running pidgin with ld debugging and found libsametime.so was corrupted.
    % LD_DEBUG=reloc pidgin
    ...

Rebooted (ran fsck, which didn't find any significant problems) and the
problem went away. The same md5sum command, no shows no problems. This
suggests some kind of memory/cache corruption of libsametime.so, but
that's disturbing.

Indeed, this all looks like corrupt files. Anyone still affected by this, please verify the md5sums.

[Expired for Ubuntu because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

This bug affects me as well.

This happens when I try to run chromium-browser.

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

By the way, looks like a resume after suspend bug. I had my laptop in suspended mode.

I found this: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=574657

This is my specs:

Linux 3.5.0-36-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 19 15:10:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Distributor ID: LinuxMint
Description: Linux Mint 14 Nadia
Release: 14
Codename: nadia

The last time I used my latop was 2 days ago. This is a work laptop. I guess, the problem will go if I reboot, but that is something I rarely do.

Does this bug apply to any of the currently supported releases (i.e. Maya, Petra or Qiana)? If not, this bug should be closed.

I can confirm this on ubuntu 14.04 with custom application.
Kernel: 3.13.0-30-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 9 22:45:01 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It seems that bug occure after wake up from suspend. Rebooting system solve problem. Does anyone know the root cause or workaround for that issue?

Hi, I'm facing similar problem on 12.04, 64 bit system while starting firefox. Exact error message -

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: ../sysdeps/x86_64/dl-machine.h: 460: elf_machine_rela_relative: Assertion `((reloc->r_info) & 0xffffffff) == 8' failed!

Recently my firefox started crashing just after waking up from suspend. Problem could be with suspend.

I usually get "refresh rate error message" while waking up from suspend. But it did not cause any real problem until now. I don't know what exactly is the problem. I'm trying to find a fix. I'll post here if something works :)

Restarting ubuntu has brought back my firefox to normal state.

I'm closing this since it is just a disk or memory corruption issue. If it is memory, then a reboot should clear it. If it is disk, then reinstalling the affected package should fix it.
