All log-files you like to have rotated, should be mentioned there.
System owned logs are in there per default.
"du -k /var" will tell you where your space is being "consumed".
Maybe your "/var/mail/root" is growing...
How big is your /var anyway?

If you try to remove a package that has child dependencies, then it'll
let you know. You'll have to use the -f flag to force it to delete
the package, despite there being any dependencies. If you want to
delete a package along with all its dependencies, you can use the -r
flag.

If there is "fragmentation", it is cleaned up

Yep, I want to clean out my log files in /var/log, but some of the log files
don't get re-created automatically (I get errors at bootup about some logs

Does echo -n 'destroy' an open file descriptor on the file? Does the above
