gawk-3.0.0-7 installs separate /bin/gawk and /bin/gawk-3.0.3 of the size 143804 bytes each. Why?? These files appear to be duplicates and "waste" space (though not much). Worse, it is confusing. Is there some reason that gawk is not a symbolic link to gawk-3.0.3? Gene
The files are hard linked: krusty:~/tmp 441 bash$ rpm -q gawk gawk-3.0.4-1 krusty:~/tmp 442 bash$ ls -al /bin/gawk* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 176648 Jul 9 22:55 /bin/gawk* -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 176648 Jul 9 22:55 /bin/gawk-3.0.4*
