|    Removing dangling files    |

      From: Daniel47@teranews.com              HP 6730b laptop with Win7/MD2009/MD2011/MG2/MG3 installed              I'm just catching up on various NG's in which I've fallen behind in my       reading. Tonight, I've been reading a.o.l.mageia and, back in September       2013, in a thread called "Problem with Kwrite and Konqueror since recent       updates.", Bit Twister advised Santos to ....              Quote       Just for fun, click up a terminal,        su - root        locate symlinks       If that does not return something like /whatever/bin/symlinks, do a        urpmi symlinks       now do a        symlinks -r / | grep dangling       What you might find is a bunch of links which are pointing to files       which do not exist on your install.       End Quote              I did this on my MD2009 and it seems I've got about 100 dangling links.       A "man dangle" showed nothing, so I thought I'd ask here how do I delete       these dangling links?? Is it a separate command for each dangle, or can       they be removed in one sweep??              I realise working on MD2009 might be a bit out of date, but, I'm hoping       to update my MG3 soon and would like to get rid of any dangles there as       well.              Daniel       (Happy New Year to one and all!!)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
