Hi - I'm looking at one of my OpenBSD systems here that has been upgraded over a long time, and has /usr/local running out of space.
It seems there's a lot of old versions of shared libraries in /usr/local/lib, like for example: > # ls -al /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.* > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 1909442 Mar 27 2018 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.10.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2047296 Oct 11 2018 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.11.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 3182104 Apr 19 2021 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.12.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2049592 Sep 26 2021 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.13.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2062112 Sep 29 2022 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.14.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2057584 Mar 25 2023 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.15.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 2069504 Oct 6 00:20 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.16.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 1869707 Jul 26 2016 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.7.0 > -rw-r--r-- 1 root bin 1909806 Oct 2 2017 /usr/local/lib/libvpx.so.8.0 Is this expected, or a result of some error I made during upgrades? Usually I'm just running pkg_add -u to pull fresh versions of packages. And is there some "standard" way to get rid of the old versions? I could probably compare whatever is there against the pkglocate database or check each file against pkglocate individually and parse the output or something, but I'd assume I'm not the first user to run into this?
