Before I being... don't trust a word I say. Any command listed below may
cause strange things to happen. Use at your own risk.
1) Try :
echo "filename" >> /var/lib/dpkg/info/package_name.list
to add filename to a package_name
2) Try adding something like this to /var/lib/dpkg/status :
Package: local-files
Status: install ok installed
Priority: required
Section: base
Version: 1.0-0.0
and adding /var/lib/dpkg/info/local-files.list w/ filenames. Note that it
is required/base so that you won't accidentally remove it :-) THe version
number is required by dpkg.
I have verifed that I can add the above to the status file, and
rn120056 /var/lib/dpkg # dpkg --list local-files ; echo
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge
|Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version Description
+++-===============-==============-================================== ...
ii local-files 1.0-0.0
rn120056 /var/lib/dpkg #
And when I add
/System.map
to /var/lib/dpkg/local-files.list, cruft no longer complains about it.
3) Of course, you can also add things to
/etc/cruft/explain
This directory holds shell scripts which oupt filenames. Any filenames
so listed will not be listed as unaccounted-for inthe cruft output.
For example, /etc/cruft/explain/local-files.sh
#!/bin/bash
find /var/www
find /home
find /usr/local
chmod the file to 755 and cruft will 'ignore' the dirs listed
