Depends if you do have those packages installed. Numeric is from |
| 23 |
dev-python/numeric, for example. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also, be careful when you parse the output of the command. Most of the |
| 26 |
.pyc and .pyo files in the python2.5 directories are byte-compiled |
| 27 |
version that python generated dynamically the first time they are |
| 28 |
used. For example: ..../Numeric/numeric_version.py was installed by |
| 29 |
the ebuild and thuse qfile tells me it belongs to dev-python/numeric, |
| 30 |
but .../Numeric/numeric_version.pyc is listed as an "orphan". While it |
| 31 |
is safe to delete, it will just be regenerated again later, wasting |
| 32 |
computing cycles. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Ditto for some of the files in the perl directory. |
