SOLVED FreeNAS-11.1-U7 jails broken: "libdl.so.1" not found

[Bill McCormick]

Using the 11.0 template, my dedicated PMS jail has broken after running the last pkg upgrade. I made a new jail and ran all the updates; same problem. The worst symptom of the problem is that python will not run. So this has wide ranging implications.

I made a fresh test jail, ran no updates, and it doesn't have this problem:

Code:

[bill@freenas /]$ jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     1                  plex.localdomain              /mnt/z1/jails/plex
     2                  test                          /mnt/z1/jails/test
[bill@freenas /]$ su

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

I had to register just to reply and tell you that this fixed my Plex Server on 11.1-U7. Thank you for figuring this out and sharing the command with us. After running the updater script it was completely broken and I thought all was lost but this command was simple and worked immediately.
