I think if Debian uses 'du -sk' for Installed-Size then that's the behavior we should have, not 'du -sk as if it were run on a certain FS'. That field is created during compiling and used during installation, and in general, these two actions occur on the same filesystem. If you're going to the trouble to change fink, may as well make it give a correct-for-that-user size. If your test case is reasonable and it fails, then the solution seems to be fixing the code, not contorting the test to hide the regession:) dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
