   Updated my Raspberry Pi running #Raspbian yesterday. After reboot, discovered that sound no longer works. In fact, many programs won't load -- they can't find libasound.so.2 , which is in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ . Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

   #libasound2

      Ah ha! Running ldconfig, I see that libasound.so.2 is truncated. So I reinstall it, and now my programs load.

      Still no sound though, "card is not defined".

         Audio worked as root, but not otherwise, so I suspected a sound server problem. Whether that was the issue or not, removing jack and installing #pulseaudio did the trick.

         *sigh* I had useful things to do...

            The ultimate conclusion is that, once #Debian #Buster is released, I will switch to that from Raspbian. I want to have an OS that stays the same for two years except for security updates, even if it isn't as optimised as it could be for my machine.
