installworld does? How? The only possibility I can see here is that dependency rules might be bad because the full paths may differ, but that wouldn't affect installworld. > And all that without a real benefit from blindly using realpath(3). Show me a canonpath(3) or something which will give the simplest symbolic i.e. a simplified full path given a relative or absolute path with all redundancies resolved, without resolving away any symbolic paths. I'm ``blindly'' using the only answer we have to a question: how can I get an absolute (thus unique) path to an object in the filesystem. I'm open to alternative ways of doing that, especially as I described canonpath(3) above.
