> make install

> Because of this, at casting glibc, /etc/ld.so.cashe can be removed. 
> Then that will cause error.

> To avoid this, you have to install newer files first, then remove just only

>  
> At that time we have to take care about config files and user data. 
> For example, mysql spell installs mysql database files. We should not 
> delete  
> them. So sorcery must know unremoval files and directory to clean up 
> safely. 
> Fortunately, Spell Writer can recognize those unremoval files. 
>  
> I want sorcery to be implemented that "install 1st, then clean up".
