The following reply was made to PR install/45335; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Martin S. Weber" <Ephaeton <at> gmx.net> To: gnats-bugs <at> NetBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: install/45335: postinstall: obsolete libs: use distribution sets Date: Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:24:58 -0500 Wouldn't it be nice to have this fixed in the NetBSD-6 distribution? You are talking about major lib bumps for NetBSD-7, so this is another catastrophe waiting to happen to anybody who will have NetBSD-6 installed, try -current to evaluate a bugfix, hardware driver, software feature or whatever and then decides to go back to the latest release... IMO, for NetBSD controlled directories (i.e. /lib, /usr/lib) deleting everything which isn't in the distribution's mtrees should be fine, shouldn't it? Thus mtree -r for the specific library directories could be a fine and workable fix for the postinstall 'obsolete library' fix step. Regards, -Martin
