Re: [PATCH] Core Update 166: Perform spring clean of orphaned files

Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply.

Hello,
This is interesting.
That's a mild way of putting it, I think. :-)

On an IPFire installation that has been around since Core Update 110
(released April 28, 2017), these files have been identified as being
orphaned, comparing to a fresh installation of Core Update 164.
To avoid such a list of files agglomerating, persons responsible for a
Core Update should check whether an updated package contains deleted
files in its rootfile. If so, they should be deleted on existing systems
via update.sh as well.

These should have been gone before. Ideally by the filesystem cleanup script.
To be honest, I never had a look at this script, and therefore do not have an idea
what it does and what it does not. I will investigate and get back to you, if necessary.

Why can we not delete /usr/lib/python3.8 as a whole? This should not be needed any more.
Yes, good point. I was running the comparison based on Core Update 164, but with
Python being updated to 3.10.x in Core Update 165, this folder won't be necessary
anymore completely.

What method did you use to identify all these files?
On the IPFire installation in question, I ran
...
find bin/ etc/ lib/ opt/ run/ sbin/ srv/ usr/ var/ | sort > ~/ist
and scp'ed that file onto my workstation. Then, I downloaded the ISO for Core Update 164
(because I wanted to have something stable, which is why I did not choose C165 for this),
installed it in a VM, rebooted it, mounted the root partition and executed the same find
command with a different file name.

(sorry for the German) outputs a long list, which I vetted manually since some add-ons
were installed on the productive system, and I did not want to pipe the output into the
rm command blindly.
