You can find orphan files with qfile, details are in the man page, but I agree with you that it is not to be recommended. Of course, creating difficulty with future updates is only one of the risks of not updating - running with unfixed bugs and security vulnerabilites are also good reasons to not do this. I'd say you should update at least every three months, and keep an eye on the output from glsa-check to make sure you are not unnecessarily vulnerable. -- Neil Bothwick He's so cool, he could get frostbite from masturbating.
