Another package Fileutils (4.1-1) works on the whole as expected, but "ls"is problematic, it causes a stack trace.
I can't even find that on the autobuilder!
I think some of these (perhaps the ones with capital letters in the names - eg DiffUtils rather than diffutils) are inherited from the RiscPkg archive which is 10-15 years old and originally built for ARMv5. Graham had his own build system that wasn't part of the autobuilder - I think popular packages have a parallel project in the autobuilder but not all of them do.
It seems Graham's sources are still available: http://source.riscpkg.org/
but whether there's anything of worth there compared with freshly porting the current versions is another question.
Alan, I thought your recent PackMan changes were supposed to filter incompatible packages? I'm surprised these ones are making it through.
