I could not undo it. Reinstalling glibc didn't fix it. And it busted networking in a way I couldn't fix without a rollback of system root to two weeks prior. Regardless of how or why these files can get messed up, that it isn't easily repairable or resettable to defaults is a much bigger risk than any bugs. Of course the user should not be stubborn (cmurf raises hand, points at himself), and there should be no bugs, but they're still gonna happen! Even a 9 step reset recipe is better than just being screwed. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
