Attached the full-fledged perl script I cooked up to investigate obsolete conffiles.
grep the output, it doesn't take options. When removing them, it often leaves empty directories, so don't forget to remove them, too. (If they aren't owned by some other package... check with dlocate, or add support to my script for walking up a path and checking.) I *highly* recommend etckeeper to save your bacon if you delete something and then wish you hadn't. sudo git checkout master~4 -- bash_completion.d/mercurial was far more convenient than re-installing the package. And you have a record of what you did. ** Attachment added: "list all obsolete conffiles that aren't non-obsolete in another package" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1372286/+attachment/4272472/+files/obs-conffiles -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372286 Title: unwanted space after directory completion (probably old cruft after upgrades) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash-completion/+bug/1372286/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
