At present, the LFS Book, at Revision r12002, says

At present, in Chapter 4, the host system's root user creates a

chown's the minimal directory hierarchy so as to be owned by th e

On the back of trying to build Xen 4.12.2 on an LFS system, I've
hit an issue whereby the Xen M4 python_devel module fails but,
even when I fix that, Python3 seems to report the "wrong" info.
I am asking similar questions, albeit with more of a Xen focus,
on the Xen developers list.

In that few people ever read the Dependencies Appendix then, probably not.
I did: I saw some LFS packages listed as "Optional dependencies".
Then Ken said "no packages in LFS are optional"

In the Chapter 6 Python XML source,
1) there's a block of commands rendered as
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.7m.so
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.so
ln -sfv pip3.7 /usr/bin/pip3
which come from the following XML
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython&python-minor;m.so

OK, so I appreciate that the
chapter06db.xml
source file isn't pulled into the Book in the "official" rendering,
however, I have noticed that if you do add it in, the rendering
of the Book fails because the entity
&db-fixes-patch;
doesn't exist.
FWIW. it is used here
