I wouldn't say to do this for important stuff like Python or Perl but I |
| 43 |
usually let depclean do its thing, as long as it is not a critical |
| 44 |
package, then run revdep-rebuild and let it make sure everything is sane. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I also make it a habit not to log out or reboot between depclean and |
| 47 |
revdep-rebuild too. Of course, asking is not a bad idea either. |
