I think you can virtually guarantee that there will also be absolute pathnames in executables and .so's that need fixing. > I guess most things would just work that way. The problem isn't the "most things would just work", it's confirming that this is indeed true and detecting and handling the ones that don't just work. Despite the pain, a complete rebuild is probably the safest approach. If you're doing a major upgrade on X, this is probably a good idea in any case. --=20 Peter Jeremy --rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFEtiO0/opHv/APuIcRArEWAJ93mpYeDlEF2VKv4WOSF2nPif8/xQCdGNHe uVr5EbW9BEUJtRZUr5syQrk= =uMhm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ--
