Dear list, I have been using fink for a few years now, performing the occasional self-update and update of packages when needed. Once in a while, something in the installation process wouldn't work, but most of the time I found workaround and it is all good in the best possible world.
On Sunday, I decided I would install kde. Unfortunately, something did go wrong - and I am still unsure how to solve it, but that is not the reason for my email. Installing kde requires A LOT of packages, and now /sw weighs a good 4.41 Go. Most of it comes from tgz and deb files, which the cleanup command doesn't seem to see. (I assume that if the installation had worked okay, most of these files would have been removed, hmm) My questions: 1) How safe is it to manually remove source and deb files? 2) Is it going to affect the installation trees? 3) What is a sanitary way of handling installations, if cleanup doesn't seem to do what it's supposed to do? Thanks for your help!! ~Etienne ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
