Hope you can help me I am using Ubuntu 18.04 (64bit) and I am a Newbie so please answer in layman terms.
When I do sudo apt-get update or sudo apt update I get the following message at the end:



Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.27-3ubuntu1) ...
/sbin/config.real: /usr/lib/libbrscandec2.so.1 is not a symbolic link
/sbin/config.real: /usr/lib/libbrcolm2.so.1 is not a symbolic link


Please can you tell me:




  1. how this affects the system?

  2. How to correct this?

  3. What it means?


I am new to this forum so thanks in advance for helping me.
Frances
