Exactly. we don't even need to run it semi auto-magically...just ask the user if indexes should be cleaned if compile fails and then retry the compilation.
Its a simple move that could many errors go away for end users and make the distro appear self healing (tm :D) asking the user to run a friendly looking Compile is one thing...a find and pipe is totally out of the park for most. there is a risk of the system getting borked but if the links are so badly out of whacked its probably going to go anyways.

I thought about this before, but scanning the whole /System/Index tree is slow and not something that is usually needed. So it shouldn't be something that runs every time. As you said, doing semi automatically could be a good idea, but we need to think about when to trigger this. Perhaps add a --cleanup flag and suggest that when Compile fails during the install step? -- Hisham > On 15-Jan-2017 5:21 AM, "Lucas C.
