X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 20 Feb 2011 08:05:01 -0000 I updated my system many times. As a result I have many older libraries with different numbers: /lib/libm.so.4 /lib/libm.so.5 /lib/libutil.so.5 /lib/libutil.so.7 /lib/libutil.so.8 /lib/libutil.so.9 /lib/libc.so.6 /lib/libc.so.7 How older files are normally deleted? Is there a script that finds older versions and deletes them? Otherwise after a while all possible versions will accumulate there. I suspect the same happens under /etc with various renamed/deleted files. Yuri
