Hi,

I'm running Solaris 2.4 with AFS 3.4a and I'm trying to get package to
copy the file /usr/lib/font/devpost/charlib/~= to local disk.  Has
anyone successfully managed get package to copy this, or any other
file whose name includes '=' ?

Try this:

touch /tmp/~=

Create a file /tmp/foo with the package definitions:

D       /                               root root 755
D       /tmp                            root root 777
F       /tmp/~=         /               root sys 755

Then run package:

$ package -full /tmp/foo -verbose
Loading configuration file '/tmp/foo'
Building configuration tree
=Checking integrity of configuration tree
** Stat failed for //tmp/~; No such file or directory

Note that package parses the '=' and gracefully prints it to stdout,
then tries to get the file '~'. Is this normal behavior, or is it some
leftover from an early version of package with builtin preprocessor?
