Questions:  You knew I subscribed to this list.  lol  I ran the command:

find -H /usr/lib /lib -type f | xargs qfile -o

and I got a lot of hits.  I'm just going to post snippets of the
directories here.  It is a LONG list otherwise.

/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i486-linux/sys/
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dbus/
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric/
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PyQt4/uic/
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Pyrex/Plex/
/usr/lib/portage/pym/

Some of those directories have additional directories in them but I
tried to hit the highlights.  Now to my questions.  Can these be
deleted?  Should one make certain these doesn't belong to some package
somewhere?  Should I update my backups BEFORE deleting these?  o_O

If you want the whole list, let me know.  Be forewarned tho, it is a
huge list even if I leave out the kernel sources for my old trusty 2.6.23.

Thanks much.
