One of the reasons for the name libc.so.6 was also present, including the following
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260434
Or, if linux emulator is used, it also contains *.6 of lib.c.

I know that, but this time I dared to avoid it :)
Because it can be a heinous package cleaner for those who are only making part of the package.
If everyone lost their favorite rust package, it would be a catastrophe :)
If used, it is strongly recommended to check in advance which packages will be deleted by the dry run.
