/usr/lib/libtumbler-1.so.0.0.0.old is empty, not checked

Every time I uninstall or install the app
I encounter this error

ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libtracker-control-2.0.so.0.306.0.old is empty, not checked.

Can help me understand what’s happening?

Are these files in fact empty?

$ ls -l /usr/lib/*.old

Do they belong to any package?

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/*.old

If not: simply remove them

$ sudo rm /usr/lib/*.old
