/proc is a so called virtual file system, nothing inside proc will come from any package you will install (except driver, kernel, etc (-: ) so you should ignore everything from every virtual filesystem. it is also a good idea to ignore things in /tmp /dev /etc /var/spool /var/log /var/run /var/mail /sys and much more probably oh yes and there are always those nasty symlinks and empty dirs and other such things ... it is not only that, packaging can be very awful ... there are many hints about this topic there are also hints about using this lists :-) some about not to init a new thread with replying to an old ans this is a new thread :-) -- H CUH Rainer Peter Feller H -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
