Three confusing messages after a big OpenBSD package update
by hazel from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y7T6)
Yesterday I upgraded my OpenBSD base system from 6.5 to 6.6. That went very smoothly. Today I carried out the package update. At the end of the update were three instructions that I find confusing:
Code: --- -dbus-1.12.12p0v0 -------------------
Remember to update /etc/machine-id
--- -dconf-0.30.1p1 -------------------
You should also run rm -rf /etc/dconf/db/*
You should also run rm -rf /etc/dconf/profile/*
--- -libxml-2.9.8p1 -------------------
Remember to update /var/db/xmlcatalogDoes the first message mean that I should run dbus-uuidgen and direct the output into /etc/machine-id? I'm a bit loth to do that as the man page says you should not change machine_ids on a running system.
The second message seems to be irrelevant as I don't actually have any files in these two directories. Should I have any?
I do have a /var/db/xmlcatalog file. So should I run xmlcatalog and direct the results into this file to overwrite what is there?
I just need a little reassurance ;).
