delete-redundant-libs

Description

The delete-redundant-libs utility, usually located at /usr/bin/delete-redundant-libs, is a helper application used by the update-buildspace application primarily to parse a build-log and locate any libraries which may be safely deleted. The log is also searched for any manual instructions to run the revdep-rebuild application and those libraries are also added to the list. Once located any packages containing binaries linking against said libraries are rebuilt and the library file removed. Any binary packages containing said libraries are also rebuilt so the preserved library file is no longer included in the binary package.

Use

As mentioned above the delete-redundant-libs utility is a helper application used by the update-buildspace application and therefore is not designed to be invoked by end-users.
