The rootless xfree86-threaded rootless splitoff has this in its files list:


/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/gl*.html


This expands to 1622 files. Fink moves them all in one mv command, which breaks if you have your base dir in a reasonably long path (from <The_Librarian> on IRC):

mv /Volumes/HighEnergyBuilding/GNU/sw/src/root-xfree86-base-threaded- 4.2.1.1-1/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/gl*.html /Volumes/HighEnergyBuilding/GNU/sw/src/root-xfree86-rootless-threaded- 4.2.1.1-1/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/doc/html/
sh: /bin/mv: Argument list too long
### execution of mv failed, exit code 126
Failed: installing xfree86-rootless-threaded-4.2.1.1-1 failed


Anyone have an idea how we can fix this? :) Fink just passes each file in the "Files" list as if it were a single file. Perhaps fink could expand wildcards and pass them individually?
