cleanup of /usr/local

2002-05-02 Thread Nick Guerrera
I would like to clean (i.e. "rm -fr") my /usr/local directory. However, several packages (emacs, python, tex, etc.) create useful empty directories in /usr/local. Is there a way to restore these directories after deleting everything in /usr/local? (By the way, I am running Woody.) Thanks, Nick
