The situation is pretty messy. The case you note is even harder to detect since when it works it leaves no evidence in the output. That is, I did an after-the-fact analysis of the logfiles, and saw the obsolete 'tail' syntax in the build transcript http://fink.opendarwin.org/build/2005-11-07/ppc/logs/ispell.log even though the command succeeded (i.e., textutils was not installed). To find the ispell occurance of "sort" we'd have to build with textutils installed. dan -- Daniel Macks [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
