Hi Sven, dash supports the -nt and -ot options to the test builtin, see also dash(1): $ dash -ec 'touch foo; sleep 1; touch bar; test foo -nt bar; echo $?' 1 $ dash -ec 'touch foo; sleep 1; touch bar; test foo -ot bar; echo $?' 0 $ I think the problem in #373611 is that /usr/share/misc/config.guess does not exist, and the cp program barfs.
