"lost+found" is a filesystem thing: it's the place where files are put that cannot be linked up eg. in the fsck phase. Other than that: if you need old libs or headers, you will have to save them some place, the arch goods will not help you with this. Ironically, if pacman was such a tidy package manager and devs were so keen to keep things that way, why is there ever any output in "pacman -Qdt"? clemens
