Just slightly confused here. I tried the deborphan package on
a testing machine today and was given a list of packages to
remove. They included ldso. Now, I was pretty sure ldso
is an important package so I checked using dselect. Hey, ldso
is in opt/oldlibs.
So I go ahead and try the removal but here is what I get:
WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed
This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!
ldso
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 684kB will be freed.
You are about to do something potentially harmful
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'
?]
Abort.
The 'Abort' is because I didn't type in that phrase. Can I safely
remove this package? Why is ldso in oldlibs?
TIA,
