Hello, I found out that on my system at a certain point zef was unable to read the content of ~/.raku/short and because of that to install any other module. According to zef there were too many files in that directory and indeed there were a lot of subdirectories.
I don't know what happened, because I try to keep my installation lean and I uninstall old versions of all the modules that I update. Is it possible that zef failed to update that directory content when, I don't know, a module fails to install or something like that, leaving behind unused directories? Has that happened to anyone else? -- Fernando Santagata
