All of it comes from 6 packages which I recently installed/updated : evince gdk-pix-buf rekonq xkeyboard-config gnome-doc-utils sane-backends The total rubbish cleaned out for these 6 was > 9 MB . The last 3 belong to major projects -- X Gnome Sane -- , which suggests that other pkgs they manage may suffer the same defect. > file bugs if you want things to actually get fixed. No, that's not the way it should be handled. Filing bugs -- 6 of them in this case -- is no guarantee of attention even, let alone action to fix the problem. Moreover, if it's fixable by Gentoo, the dev involved should do it as a matter of course without needing a bug. There is a perfectly effective script which cleans up the mess & the only problem with it seems to be temporary lack of a maintainer, who is not essential anyway if there's nothing which needs fixing & should not be difficult to replace with a simple request for a volunteer. Please leave 'localepurge' where it is. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
