In the Chapter 6 Python XML source,

1) there's a block of commands rendered as

chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.7m.so
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.so
ln -sfv pip3.7 /usr/bin/pip3

which come from the following XML

chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython&python-minor;m.so
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpython3.so
ln -sfv pip3.7 /usr/bin/pip3</userinput></screen>


Could that last one not mke use of the &python-minor; entity too ?

Yes it could, but that only would be meaningful if/when python updates to 3.8 or later if that line is not manually updated.

ln -sfv pip&python-minor;  /usr/bin/pip3</userinput></screen>


2) there's a line

<term><option>--no-same-owner</option> and --no-same-permissions</term>

so should the second option not be delineated within <option> tags ?

For internal consistency, I suppose so, but functionally it is not meaningful.

In the Chapter 6 IPRoute2 source, it says


    It is also necessary to disable building two modules that requires
    http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/9.0/postlfs/iptables.html.

    sed -i 's/.m_ipt.o//' tc/Makefile

however, there is no note as regards the fact that once/if IPTables
has been built in BLFS, one could come back and rebuild IPRoute2
without that modification.

Indeed, if one has IPTables, SHOULD IPRoute2 be rebuilt with
those modules ?

It depends on if they are needed. The book mentions iptables and gives a reference, so rebuilding is implied. The affected modules are for the tc application so they seen pretty exotic to me.

This might be yet another package that could be in a "Reinstalling
LFS packages for a BLFS system" section of the BLFS Book, along
with Shadow.

Perhaps. You can probably add grep after pcre to that list. Would you like to write that section?
