Rationalise multi-lib setup
by andrew.46 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DCD7)
With retirement I am cleaning out many areas of my life and a recent bruising encounter with a glibc upgrade on -current has prompted me to also rationalise my computer system.
I am running -current and at the moment with a full multi-lib setup. However when I look a little closer at my changing needs I only really need to keep a Brother printer going. For this I believe I can simply install:
Code:removepkg *multilib-x86_64-*alien.txz
removepkg *compat32.txz
removepkg compat32-tools*.tgzAfter this an 'upgradepkg --install-new' across the Slackware tree should finish the job (reinstall gcc in particular).
Am I missing anything? I am keen not to repeat my glibc upgrade debacle :)
