21 there are some files that don't get removed when uninstalling some packages
22 also from /lib, but mainly from /etc.
23 when i uninstall a package i first to a qlist and then see if some files
24 haven't got removed and proceed removing them if equery say they don't
25 belong to any package installed in world (obviously first i move them in
26 another directory and after seeing that they aren't really needed i remove
27 them).
