Hi, |
| 20 |
I haven't tried Neil's method so I cannot comment on that. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Personally I actually start with |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
revdep-rebuild -ip |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
to see if anything is flagged. If there is then I run |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
equery depends whatever-was-found |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
and |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
equery belongs whatever-was-found |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
to see what uses (if anything) and what owns (if anything) |
| 35 |
whatever-was-found. If nothing uses or owns then I delete it by hand. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
It's labor intensive. Possibly Neil's metthod gets around some of |
| 38 |
that. However I've used this for years and seldom had too many things |
| 39 |
to clean up, and what I have had wasn't too difficult to work though. |
| 40 |
There were some issue with Flash on one of my machine last week that |
| 41 |
took awhile to dig through. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I try to do my machine once every couple of months. |
