When I run setld -i on my Tru64 5.1 systems some packages come back as "not
installed". These are (apparently) packages I don't need as I am running ok
without them. As near as I can tell, I can get rid of the listing all
together by removing the <package name>.ctrl, .inv. and .scp files from
/usr/.smdb. (the only files these particular packages have). Is there any
reason I should not do this and/or is there a better way? Is there any
reason I (or the system) would want to know that a particular package is not
installed? As near as I can tell its just needless clutter but I might be
missing something(s).
Thanks
