Starting around a decade ago, I think. When I was originally given |
18 |
this advice there was no detailed explanation available as to why it |
19 |
was needed. However, I rebuilt my kernel a few times and was forced to |
20 |
merge that package to get X11 working again, so causation was |
21 |
established. |

Recently I can verify that I haven't been doing it manually between |
24 |
kernel upgrades. |
