Hmm ... having run 'unsymlink-lib --analyze/migrate/finish', switched profile |
| 24 |
to 17.1 and then rebuilt toolchain and 'emerge -1v /lib32 /usr/lib32', I did |
| 25 |
not have to manually remove those directories on 4 different systems so far (I |
| 26 |
think). That said I don't use an initramfs, but even if I did these are not |
| 27 |
boot time dependencies. If you feel shakey about it you can rebuild dracut |
| 28 |
before you need to use it again. |
