Actually, it can because for instance the other /usr/local/libexec directories are visible through an indirect path like /net/the_other_machine/usr/local/libexec. Not in the obvious places, right. However, when you install a package that needs compiling on different architectures, you'll make the compilation twice, once on each architecture. It's not much more difficult to uninstall twice. I admit you can reach an inconsistent state if for instance you uninstall only on one machine. In that case, you'll have removed the share/ part for all architectures, but not all the libexec/ parts. That's the sysadmin's fault though. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / ENST, INFRES C201.1 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel. +33 (1) 45 81 73 46 75013 Paris, France Fax. +33 (1) 45 81 31 19
