Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Does setup.exe handle duplicate files correctly? To be explicit, if more than one tar.gz archive contain a file with the same name, does setup.exe install the correct one? I am posing the above question because there appears to be a lot of files in common between gdb-20000608.tar.gz and tcltk.tar.gz: $ tar -xvzf gdb-20000608.tar.gz >/dev/null ... $ tar -xvzf tcltk.tar.gz >/dev/null tar: usr/lib/libtcl80.a: Could not create file: Permission denied tar: usr/lib/libtk80.a: Could not create file: Permission denied tar: usr/man/man1/itclsh.1: Could not create file: Permission denied tar: usr/man/mann/Archetype.n: Could not create file: Permission denied ... The reason that the dups were not previously apparent was because all of the files in gdb-20000415.tar.gz were writeable.
