what do you mean with &#39;stale files&#39; and &#39;manual remove&#39;?<br><br>the only &#39;stale files&#39; I know about are .la files - which AFAIk could all be<br>removed and stuff in /tmp and /etc<br clear="all"></blockquote>
<br>there are some files that don&#39;t get removed when uninstalling some packages also from /lib, but mainly from /etc.<br>when i uninstall a package i first to a qlist and then see if some files haven&#39;t got removed and proceed removing them if equery say they&nbsp; don&#39;t belong to any package installed in world (obviously first i move them in another directory and after seeing that they aren&#39;t really needed i remove them).
