About an error

After installing snap, executing snap command (also hugo command after its installation) gives the following error.

ERROR: ld.so: object ‘/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-${PLATFORM}.so’ from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored.

I ended up editing /etc/ld.so.preload and commenting out /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-${PLATFORM}.so, meaning

$ nano /etc/ld.so.preload

then, comment out

#/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libarmmem-${PLATFORM}.so

Not exactly sure why this happens, but after some googling, there exist some people who have the same trouble and no solution found. It seems harmless error so I just commented out. If you are curious, the following links might help:
