Note that <command>strip</command> will overwrite the binary or library file it is processing.This can crash the processes using code or data from the file.If the process running <command>strip</command> is affected, the binary or library being stripped can be destroyed; this can make the system completely unusable.To avoid this problem we copy some libraries and binaries into <filename class="directory">/tmp</filename>, strip them there, then reinstall them with the <command>install</command> command.(The related entry in <xref linkend="pkgmgmt-upgrade-issues"/> gives the rationale for using the <command>install</command> command here.)
