WARNING: Unique directory /usr/share/ghostscript/9.54.0/Resource/Init/ contains new files
by emmet from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5Q2C1)
During the zen moments of watching slackpkg upgrade-all output scroll by, I noticed a few warning messages, which boil down to the one in the title. So I looked.
Code:eford@dimholt:~$ ls -l /usr/share/ghostscript/9.54.0/Resource/Init/
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6774 Mar 31 15:57 cidfmapEh, some file created, probably in the course of ghostscript installation. Google says ghostscript generates a font mapping of some sort and stores it in cidfmap. A nothing burger, but a bit of cruft left behind.
The date is odd, though. My system was freshly built on August 10, which, if my calculations are correct, comes after March 31. So the file is older than the package installation, but not part of the package manifest. Curious.
The new version of ghostscript has the same file, created today, but prior to my update ritual.
Code:eford@dimholt:~$ ls -l /usr/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Init/cidfmap
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6774 Sep 27 14:01 /usr/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Init/cidfmap
eford@dimholt:~$ sudo cat /var/log/secure|grep "upgrade\-all"
Sep 27 17:44:31 dimholt sudo: eford : TTY=pts/3 ; PWD=/home/eford ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/slackpkg upgrade-allThe package manifest for the new version of ghostscript does not contain this file, but it circles around it:
Code:eford@dimholt:~$ grep cidfmap /var/log/packages/ghostscript-9.55.0-x86_64-1
usr/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Init/FAPIcidfmap
usr/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Init/cidfmap.default.ghostscript-9.55.0
usr/share/ghostscript/9.55.0/Resource/Init/cidfmap.newMy hypothesis, therefore, is that future warnings await me and will likely reveal themselves sometime after version 9.56.0 of ghostscipt is released. For the moment...
Code:eford@dimholt:~$ sudo rm -r /usr/share/ghostscript/9.54.0I know; I'm a wild man.
