Libtool archive files are used by ImageMagick, mpg123, libltdl itself, and a few more packages. Just removing all of them is not going to help. Plus at least one package install plugin files with .la extension even if they are not libtool archives. So please, we're not just avoiding the quick path out of spite, but because _it's not an accessible path at all_. -- Diego Elio Pettenò — “Flameeyes” http://blog.flameeyes.eu/ If you found a .asc file in this mail and know not what it is, it's a GnuPG digital signature: http://www.gnupg.org/
