They have been there for some days, and I suspect they may have been
left behind from a crash. Should I try to get rid of them, or just
ignore them? I wouldn't have thought they could be doing anything
harmful.
I have some like that Anne, been there for years. I've ignored them.
The .packlist files come from manually-installed (i.e. not from RPMs)
perl modules. If the file *does* come from an RPM, I'd suggest
bugzilla-ing the RPM in question as the .packlist file isn't needed and
shouldn't be packaged.
Looks to me as though they came from Extras. Is it worth bugzilla-ing,
though, I wonder? They do no harm, and there are more important things for
the maintainers to consider.
Actually they appear to be from Core packages.
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DCOP/.packlist
is from kdebindings
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/.packlist is from the main
perl package
I'd be inclined to ignore them too.
Paul.
