I actually saved the news item to a text file. As I was doing things, I |
| 35 |
would highlight what I was doing. At one point, I needed to logout and |
| 36 |
back in so I noted where to pick up so that I didn't miss anything. |
| 37 |
Even with doing that, it may be possible I missed something but I'd |
| 38 |
think it unlikely. I was expecting a few things to still be there but |
| 39 |
not that many or things that important. I did skip the parts about |
| 40 |
switching from 13 profiles to 17.1 since I was on 17.0. There was two |
| 41 |
in #10. I did rebuild gcc as listed tho. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I might add, I also ran revdep-rebuild and it came back clean as well. |
| 44 |
I just wonder, if I remove those directories and then run |
| 45 |
revdep-rebuild, will it fix anything that is broken? I could just |
| 46 |
rename them so that I still have them if needed. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Could this be because I still have a few things that are 32 bit? I'm |
| 49 |
running multilib here. |
