Here's my suggestion. First cd to the /var/lib/dpkg/info directory and then execute this one line perl program:
% >perl -ne 'chop and print "$ARGV $_\n" if m|^/usr/lib/.[^/]+$|' *.list This tries to list all the lines that start with '/usr/lib/' and have no '/' afterwards. Just remove '[^/]' and it dumps the whole '/usr/lib/' tree. This is the head of the output it gave when I tried it: base-files.list /usr/lib/locale binutils.list /usr/lib/libbfd.a binutils.list /usr/lib/libbfd.so.2.7.0.3 binutils.list /usr/lib/libopcodes.a [cut] It also lists the directories that are in the /usr/lib e.g. /usr/lib/locale but I hope that's ok. My regexps are a little shaky, so maybe one of the perl gurus on the list can verify that it's correct. Rikki "Doh!"

As far as I know, they can be found from /usr/X11R6/lib. There is /usr/lib/X11 but it's a symlink to ../X11R6/lib/X11 ( /usr/lib/X11 -> ../X11R6/lib/X11 ). // Heikki -- Heikki Vatiainen * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tampere University of Technology * Tampere, Finland -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
