New install Debian 11.3 have to be removed these files?

#1 Post by panpan »

According,
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ ... e-packages
4.2.6. Clean up leftover configuration files
A previous upgrade may have left unused copies of configuration files; old versions of configuration files, versions supplied by the package maintainers, etc. Removing leftover files from previous upgrades can avoid confusion. Find such leftover files with:

# find /etc -name '*.dpkg-*' -o -name '*.ucf-*' -o -name '*.merge-error'
These files that found at my system have to be removed?

Code: Select all

$ find /etc -name '*.dpkg-*' -o -name '*.ucf-*' -o -name '*.merge-error'
find: ‘/etc/polkit-1/localauthority’: Permission denied
find: ‘/etc/ssl/private’: Permission denied
find: ‘/etc/cups/ssl’: Permission denied

Nothing is shown to be removed. If you run the command as root or using sudo the find command will be able to look into those directories which are "Permission Denied". Run as user, if there was a file to be removed it would be shown similar to this where, in this case on this system, there is only one file indicated:

Code: Select all

[toy@fun ~]$  find /etc -name '*.dpkg-*' -o -name '*.ucf-*' -o -name '*.merge-error'
find: ‘/etc/cups/ssl’: Permission denied
find: ‘/etc/polkit-1/localauthority’: Permission denied
/etc/ca-certificates.conf.dpkg-old
find: ‘/etc/ssl/private’: Permission denied
