On my system there are a mountain of dangling symlinks which I don't know whether they should be there or not. I did run a post-install cleanup of dangling symlinks as specified in the documentation, but how do I know whether that process is going to delete the dangling symlink or convert it into a hard file (the removal or dangling symlinks for /usr did both). But there are also some dangling symlinks for Windows fonts in the Windows drive C font folder created by Wine, why are they dangling?On Mon, Nov 11, 2024 at 5:04 PM Samuel Sieb<sam...@sieb.net> wrote:On 11/11/24 1:59 PM, Stephen Morris wrote:Am I doing something wrong then when I did not have to do any cleanup for the system to be in this state? As a side issue, I might be treading on thin ice here, I have never done any of the post-install processes on any version of Fedora. Until I saw references to them in this list when I was on F39, I didn't know they existed to even go looking for them. I did one try dnf autoremove and that wanted to remove half my system, so I abandoned that process, and issuing it now wants to remove 299 packages, some of which look to be old from their names, but how do I know whether they are actually redundant or whether I am using something from them. For example, it wants to remove package f36-backgrounds- gnome, how do I know whether I am using a background from that package hence should not be removed?I have never done any of those post-install processes.Out of morbid curiosity, what does the output of this command look like?sudo symlinks -r / | grep dangling
