I'm yum updating some CentOS 7 systems today and got this error. Two

No such file or directory
The kernel does does contain that file. In CentOS linux 7 (and 8), the
file is actually blank .. well is has one comment line:
# Placeholder file, no vDSO hwcap entries used in this kernel.
If you want the error to go away, just as the root user, do:
touch /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernel-3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64.conf
chmod 444 /etc/ld.so.conf.d/kernel-3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64.conf
The above 2 commands should create a zero size file there and prevent
the error.
As to how you got the error .. it seems there is an issue with the
kernel-3.10.0-1127.19.1.el7.x86_64 install on your machine, it is at
least missing that file. If you are using that kernel .. you might want
to re-install it instead to make sure all the files are there. There is
a newer kernel released for EL7.
As to the purpose of /etc/ld.so.conf.d/, info here:
https://linux.101hacks.com/unix/ldconfig/
That is the general description of ldconfig, which is transparent and
clear as to what ldconfig purpose is.
What is puzzling for me (I'm sure you are answering my question): why
anything related to kernel package should be needed for automatically
searching for shared libraries to be loaded (when one uses anything
linked to shared libraries)? What kernel package brings that can have
anything to do with that??!
Thanks for insights!
