If there is genuinely no way of keeping the system clean without some user intervention, then certainly there is a use for such a program. It's a little dangerous I guess because there if such a program exists, then it might be difficult to reserve its use strictly for situations where it is impossible for the developers to effect the cleanup in the upgrade process. But this thread so far has been about the design of the application, rather than whether its existence is justified or not. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
