[gentoo-user] Removing shared libraries

[gentoo-user] Removing shared libraries

[Damian]

Hi,

After I ran reconcilio (I guess revdep-rebuild will yield a similar
output) I got the following message:
    The following broken files are not owned by any installed package:
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_applet_sysmoni_nvidia.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_applet_sysmoni_portage.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_applet_sysmoni_ram.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_applet_sysmoni_sys.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_applet_sysmoni_top.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/plasma_yawp.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/kde4/sysmoni_engine.so (requires libplasma.so.2)
    /usr/lib64/libsysmoni.so (requires libplasma.so.2)

Those shared objects were installed when I manually compiled plasmoids
some time ago (using kde 4.1, now I have kde 4.2). So my question is
if I can safely remove those files without beaking anything. I think
it is safe but I want to be cautious.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Damian.

I think so. I always manually delete when they show up like that and
nothing has broken that I know of. For some reason they don't always
get removed during unmerge or upgrade.

In any case it's non-vital stuff. So just tar them up and
delete. You can put them back if anything related complains.

Thank you Jesus and Paul. I will back up the libraries just in case.
