Hello, In /usr/lib I have libraries with dates of my latest world build, and with older dates. I consider the libraries with old dates to be redundant. A typical example is, when I do # ll /usr/lib/*libssh* 289008 Oct 3 17:28 /usr/lib/libssh.a 11 Oct 3 17:28 /usr/lib/libssh.so -> libssh.so.2 194148 Oct 3 17:28 /usr/lib/libssh.so.2 280822 Feb 24 2004 /usr/lib/libssh_p.a "Oct 3" is when I did my last build world. Is /usr/lib/libssh_p.a (Feb. 24) indeed redundant? Can I remove it, without breaking the system? There are many more seemingly redundant libraries with lib*_p.a : libalias_p.a, libatm_p.a, libbluetooth_p.a, libbsdxml_p.a, libbsnmp_p.a, libbz2_p.a, libc_p.a, libc_r_p.a, libcalendar_p.a, libcam_p.a, libcom_err_p.a, libcompat_p.a, libedit_p.a, libcrypt_p.a, libdevinfo_p.a, libdevstat_p.a, libdialog_p.a, libfetch_p.a, libfl_p.a, libform_p.a, libftpio_p.a, libg2c_p.a, libgcc_p.a, libgeom_p.a, libgnuregex_p.a, libhistory_p.a, libipsec_p.a, libipx_p.a, libisc_p.a, libkeycap_p.a, libkiconv_p.a, libkse_p.a, libkvm_p.a, libl_p.a, libln_p.a, libm_p.a, libmd_p.a, libmenu_p.a, libmilter_p.a, libmp_p.a, libncp_p.a, libobjc_p.a, libncurses_p.a, libnetgraph_p.a, libngatm_p.a, libopie_p.a, libpanel_p.a, libpcap_p.a, libradius_p.a, libreadline_p.a, librpcsvc_p.a, libsbuf_p.a, libsdp_p.a, libsmb_p.a, libstdc++_p.a, libsupc++_p.a, libtacplus_p.a, libthr_p.a, libufs_p.a, libugidfw_p.a, libusbhid_p.a, libutil_p.a, libvgl_p.a, libwrap_p.a, libxpg4_p.a, liby_p.a, libypclnt_p.a, libz_p.a, libroken_p.a, libasn1_p.a, libhdb_p.a, libkafs5_p.a, libkrb5_p.a, libkadm5clnt_p.a, libkadm5srv_p.a, libgssapi_p.a, libcrypto_p.a, libssl_p.a, libssh_p.a ----------------------- In addition, I have following libraries with old dates: /usr/lib/libisc.a /usr/lib/libisc.so -> libisc.so.1 /usr/lib/libisc.so.1 /usr/lib/libkse.a /usr/lib/libkse.so -> libkse.so.1 /usr/lib/libkse.so.1 /lib/geom/geom_concat.so.1 /lib/geom/geom_label.so.1 /lib/geom/geom_nop.so.1 /lib/geom/geom_stripe.so.1 /libexec/ld-elf.so.1 Can I remove all these as well?
