There doesn't seem to be a shell utility to do this - am I mistaken ? If not I can easily make one in the dpkg package; dpkg already has the code to do this for configuration files, so it wouldn't be too much extra work. If so, what should the program be called ?

It will fail (perhaps badly) for certain cases where a person has severely reconfigured the softlinks leading to site-start.el, but it should do the right thing for a standard debian installation. I'm leaving this bug open until I can get a real solution in place. -- Raul Miller ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Message sent: From: iwj10@thor.cam.ac.uk (Ian Jackson) To: rdr@tad.micro.umn.edu (Raul Miller) Subject: Bug#1148: Info received (was Bug#1148: w3-el doesn't clean up properly) In-Reply-To: References: Thank you for the additional information you have supplied regarding this problem report.
