If you run fix_libtool_files.sh, it modifies a number of .la files. As a |
17 |
result, these files are removed when their parent package is unmerged |
18 |
because their checksums no longer match the package's CONTENTS file. This |
19 |
isn't an issue if you have upgraded the package and it has overwritten |
20 |
the .la files with new versions, but when they move to a different |
21 |
location, or if you remove the package altogether, that are left lying |
22 |
around. |

As you have determined the files no longer belong to a package, it is |
25 |
quite safe to remove them. |
