Slackware :: Tools To Purge Unused Pkg/libs?
Jun 30, 2011
Are there some effective tools to purge the system of unused libs/pkg and other files?Till now I found localepurge (i do not remember where i found it) which does some trick, but I am sure there is a lot of other things laying around in Slack with no real reason to be there in some minimal installation.I found also unsuedpkg in google.code, but it does nothing on a fresh system.Such question won't rise if Slack team wouldn't be forgetting about Slack's significance in server segment and putting big efforts in "deskopisation" of it. I'd be happy seeing directories like xlibs/ and mm_stuff/ where all x related libs and multimedia related ehhh... files could go (I hope developers will see this message).

I have no problem with resolving dependencies on my own, but when I uninstall a programm, how could I keep track of the dependencies, thus remove them?
Is there a possibility to store this information in the /var/log/packages files, or better yet, is it possible to include the dependencies in the the .tgz's, so a 'removepkg' would get rid of them as well?

When you unsuccessfully try to install software, does your Slackware system become cluttered with unused files? Is there a program, other than 'slackpkg clean-system', that can review your installation and identify any useless stuff? My tmp directory is set, in fstab, to delete its contents on boot. Is the tmp directory the only directory to be concerned with?

I'm currently trying to setup a minimal Slackware installation. Everything is well, except for screen brightness/hard disk control via laptop-mode-tools. I was wondering if anyone used it, and if they got it to work on their Slack systems, how they went about doing it.

I don't use wireless tools myself currently, since I'm wired to the internet; but, I found that a package I wanted to build, required at the least, a shared version of libiw, if not both the shared AND static version. Symptoms of when you are in this boat, are error messages during compiling, similar to:
Code:
/usr/lib64/libiw.a(iwlib.so): In function `iw_mwatt2dbm':
iwlib.c:(.text+0x1a77): undefined reference to `log10'
iwlib.c:(.text+0x1a84): undefined reference to `ceil'
/usr/lib64/libiw.a(iwlib.so): In function `iw_freq2float':
iwlib.c:(.text+0x1b11): undefined reference to `pow'

I checked xen-tools on a Debian Lenny system
Got following
Code:
This package contains tools to manage Debian based XEN virtual servers.
Using the scripts you can easily create fully configured Xen guest domains (domU) which can be listed, updated, or copied easily.
Homepage: [url] in the above output I am getting a line Conffiles and then you can see a series of /etc what are that and is it an error or some conflict?

I'm having trouble with mongodb on debian. I'll start from the scratch: removing it.
Code: Select allapt-get autoremove --purge mongodb
Or:
Code: Select allapt-get purge mongodb
Or:
Code: Select allapt-get remove --purge mongodb
All end in the same way:
Code: Select all dpkg: error processing package mongodb-org-server (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 102
Errors were encountered while processing:
mongodb-org-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I went to remove FreeNX from my Ubuntu Lucid machine so I opened the terminal and typed: "sudo aptitude purge freenx" The command worked but when I used the command "locate nx" I got a list of FreeNX associated files (as well as nxserver files). Is it possible to completely remove a program from my system? I thought "sudo aptitude purge" would do it but apparently not. My only concern is that in the future if I decide to install something related to this program it will interfere and cause problems.

When upgrading to Maverick I accidentally (yes, I know, my bad) installed Grub to my Ubuntu partition instead of to the MBR. It was already installed to the MBR prior to this. So, when I rebooted all I got was the Grub rescue console. I loaded the Linux image with a different boot loader on floppy instead, and proceeded to uninstall and reinstall Grub2 to MBR with
Code:
sudo apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
sudo update-grub
However, on restart I now get the regular Grub console, but not the selection screen to select what to boot. This even though all Linux kernel images and the Windows 7 partition I have was found during the reinstall. So, seems I need to do a complete purge of Grub from both MBR and sda3 (which is the Ubuntu partition i accidentally chose on upgrade), and start over clean. Question is then, how do I do it, line by line from the terminal?

I'm running evolution 2.30.3 in ubuntu 10.10, with unity desktop, and I can't find the "purge" option for the tasks. As it disappeared or is it just me not finding it ? Also, while I'm here, I understand that unity is still in development. Where can I report the issues I notice while running it ?

I have a webserver WWW1 and a front-facing proxy PRX. I use SSH ProxyCommand to connect to WWW1's internal IP (private IP) via PRX (private+public IP). For some connections (not all) I see a network connection left open after I'm finished. These add up!
~/.ssh/config
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 5
ControlMaster auto
[code]....
On PRX, lsof | grep WWW1:ssh shows 124 open connections at the moment. On WWW1, the same command shows 243 open connections. There are similar open connections for WWW2, WWW3 etc.
WWW1 and PRX are Debian. Client connections are coming from a mix of Debian, Ubuntu and OSX10.6. I use Emacs Tramp but this has no special configuration (AFAIK) outside of my ~/.ssh/config. I'm concerned about running out of internal ports, and ideally I want these connections to clean themselves up without intervention. Ideally by configuring them to kill themselves off; failing that a command I can kill old processes with is fine!

Did a fresh install of 10.04 Desktop 86_64 this weekend. One of the first issues I noticed right away was that apt was not function properly. Say for example you install the packages tor and vidalia (assume I'm running everything from root). #apt-get install tor vidalia This command will check and install necessary dependencies, for example 'privoxy'. Now if you decide that you don't want to use privoxy and instead use polipo, you would probably feel inclined to remove privoxy. Well I found that apt-get autoremove, apt-get remove, apt-get purge WILL NOT remove all the files/directories associated with the package. You'll find that after running each of these commands, there will still be directories, scripts, etc. in /etc/init, /etc, and /etc/rc*.d. The only solution I've found to completely removing a package is aptitude purge [package].

Yeah, I use dselect. What can I say, I've grown used to it and prefer it to the more modern dpkg front-ends.Recently did a fresh install of Lucid Server 10.4.1 AMD64. There are some Standard packages that I don't need and I used dselect to purge them:
apparmor
apparmor-utils
friendly-recovery

I've just upgraded from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 64 bit, and everything went well except for the fglrx driver installation, which failed. I've checked the troubleshooting guide and tried to purge the drivers, with only partial success.
When i type dpkg -l '*fglrx*'
I get this,

I have searched around a bit and am having difficulty purging blockcontrol off my system. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS i686 version. I have been able to remove some of the programs attached to blockcontrol but cannot remove blockcontrol. The synaptics package manager and console root access will not rip out blockcontrol. I want the entire Moblock/Blockcontrol set off the system.

I've setup two printers through a system running Ubuntu server that are shared with 30-40 users on our school network.
If the printers run out of ink or paper, they stop printing. The lazier members of staff don't proceed to recharge the ink or paper so when somebody does, hours later, the old jobs start printing again which the teachers no longer need or want.
I'd like to automatically have my system purge print jobs older than 1 hour. I'm running CUPS and sharing the printers through SAMBA. How do I do this?

writing a script that would keep the last three versions of tcpdump files.Due to the version of tcpdump I must use -C and cannot use -G. Using -C generates a new file after X MB's have been written and adds a .x after each new one. The problem is that these files are filling up the disk too quickly. The main part of the script will kill tcpdump when a certain condition is met but in the meantime I need to purge and only keep say the three last iterations of the dump file. So for example, there is dump.pcap.1, dump.pcap.2, dump.pcap.3, dump.pcap.4 and dump.pcap.5. I'd like the script to look at the datestamps and delete dump.pcap.1 and dump.pcap2 since the other three are the three newest files. comparing files based on dump.pcap.*, check the dates and only keep the three 'youngest' files?

I wanted to install an rpm package on two suse 10 systems. It installed successfully on one system but on the other it throws an error like
Code: error: Failed dependencies: rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed by linuxProj-1-1.noarch
Now this means that rpnm package has no error but the rpm in itself is lacking some libs. So can anyone tell me that how can I download and add these libs to the already installed rpm. Note the difference between rpm and rpm package.

I am fairly new to ubuntu. I have to compile some libraries under ubuntu in a directory other than the default directory and then get the shared object libs (.so) libs for building some custome kernels. I created a directory structure as follows:
/home/username/build-target
/home/username/src-<libname> =>here are the source files for the lib. I need to compile
Now I create a directory /home/username/src-openssl and download the source code and untar it under this directory and issue ./configure --prefix=/home/username/build-target --exec-prefix=/home/username/build-target and then make and make install. I was expecting that the shared object libraries created (.so) files should have gone under /home/username/build-target/libs, however I just see only libssl.a and libcrypto.a and not .so files under the build-target/lib directory. For grep also I did the same thing as above however I don't see any lib directory created under build-target directory as I was expecting.

I need some PHP libs that don't come with the standard install - I assume that means I'll have to build PHP from source. Can I use a package manager to download the source? How? If I do, will it have the code for all the libraries? Are there specific instructions for building and installing on ubuntu?
