Re: need /usr/lib contents

[Heikki Vatiainen <hessu@cs.tut.fi>]

Here's my suggestion. First cd to the /var/lib/dpkg/info directory and then 
execute this one line perl program:

% >perl -ne 'chop and print "$ARGV    $_\n" if m|^/usr/lib/.[^/]+$|' *.list

This tries to list all the lines that start with '/usr/lib/' and have no '/' 
afterwards. Just remove '[^/]' and it dumps the whole '/usr/lib/' tree.

This is the head of the output it gave when I tried it:

base-files.list    /usr/lib/locale
binutils.list    /usr/lib/libbfd.a
binutils.list    /usr/lib/libbfd.so.2.7.0.3
binutils.list    /usr/lib/libopcodes.a
[cut]

It also lists the directories that are in the /usr/lib e.g. /usr/lib/locale 
but I hope that's ok. My regexps are a little shaky, so maybe one of the perl 
gurus on the list can verify that it's correct.

I don't think X has any libraries there. As far as I know, they can be found
from /usr/X11R6/lib. There is /usr/lib/X11 but it's a symlink to
../X11R6/lib/X11 ( /usr/lib/X11 -> ../X11R6/lib/X11 ).
