Questions: You knew I subscribed to this list. lol I ran the command: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
find -H /usr/lib /lib -type f | xargs qfile -o |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
and I got a lot of hits. I'm just going to post snippets of the |
| 29 |
directories here. It is a LONG list otherwise. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/ |
| 32 |
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux/sys/ |
| 33 |
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/ |
| 34 |
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric/ |
| 35 |
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/ |
| 36 |
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pyrex/Plex/ |
| 37 |
/usr/lib/portage/pym/ |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Some of those directories have additional directories in them but I |
| 40 |
tried to hit the highlights. Now to my questions. Can these be |
| 41 |
deleted? Should one make certain these doesn't belong to some package |
| 42 |
somewhere? Should I update my backups BEFORE deleting these? o_O |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
If you want the whole list, let me know. Be forewarned tho, it is a |
| 45 |
huge list even if I leave out the kernel sources for my old trusty 2.6.23. |
