Hum... Looks like the libtinfo5 package is somehow corrupt.<br />
<br />
So, /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 has somehow been overwritten by something.<br />
<br />
This seems very odd.<br />
<br />
If I hit this problem, I'd likely destroy the instance (if you have a backup) + reinstall from scratch.<br />
<br />
If not, you might be able to boot into single user mode, then repair this package... although this is unlikely, as libtinfo5 is an essential package... which is involved during the boot process.

Try to boot the system from a ISO image that allows access to a shell.<br />
Mount the disk where this /lib64 directory is sitting.<br />
<br />
Then restore the right /lib64/libtinfo.so.5 &nbsp;from some other media or install package onto the disk.<br />
libtinfo.so is part of ncurses package.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Virtual Box

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
