How can I undo prelink???

Hello, I want to undo the prelink. I have always used the command "prelink -amR", but now I want to undo all changes made by prelink.

What command I must run to do this?

Greetings

Reinstallation of all affected packages is the only way to undo a prelink. I'm curious why you want to un-prelink your system btw, all binaries should work as before prelinking, they're just a bit more optimized to speed up linking.

If you check the manpage of prelink, there is definitely a switch to pass to prelink to un-prelink all affected binaries .

Been there, done that - as you can guess, I don't have it installed anymore so I can't tell .

prelink -au

should unprelink all binaries and return them to normal. I too am curious why you're removing it. I've never prelinked under Arch, only on Gentoo. But yeah.
