Ian Jackson: > Is it really that awful to have to install cpio to get mt and rmt ?? # dpkg --listfiles cpio | xargs ls -ld | grep '^-' | awk '{ print $5 }' | /home/liw/bin/numsum 65506 # Not all that much extra, IMHO. The above does not include mt at all. # dpkg --listfiles cpio-mt | xargs ls -ld | grep '^-' | awk '{ print $5 }' | /home/liw/bin/numsum 25604 # BTW, both dump and cpio-mt have rmt, dump in /sbin/rmt, cpio-mt in /usr/sbin/rmt. Is this on purpose?
