@attilakinali @nixCraft Actually you should be fine, but only if you apt-mark manual those libs that you needed for your custom packages.

It's good hygiene to do this often. You can reinstall the missing libs if needed. And if you can't, you're sitting on a time bomb anyway.

#dpkg #hygiene

P.S. apt-find-foreign for even more clean systems after release upgrade.

1.

There may be equivalents to "pkg which" in some of the other package managers.

2.

"pw useradd" is not a straight exchange for shadow-utils useradd.

The very annoying gotcha (which means that one cannot just write a pw() shell function that strips the command name) is that they do not agree on whether the options come before or after the username argument.

Ich hab dieses Verhalten aber noch nie bei #apk #dpkg oder #xbps gesehen - Zufall oder Chiffre?! 😉

@unixtippse I think the format is as old as #dpkg itself, so circa 1994.

So, yes, it predates XML (1996), JSON (2000) and YAML (2001), but not Windows INI.
