I really have no intention to peg the database up with a query like that. Here: $ zcat testing{,-proposed-updates}/main/binary-alpha/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -n -s Package -F Architecture -v all | sort > ~/tmp/alpha $ zcat testing{,-proposed-updates}/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz | grep-dctrl -n -s Package -F Architecture -v all | sort > ~/tmp/i386 $ diff -u alpha i386 | grep '^\+[^+]' | cut -d + -f 2 | while read p ; do grep-dctrl -n -s Installed-Size -PX $p testing/main/binary-i386/Packages; done | perl -le '$t+=$_ foreach <>; print $t' # golf anyone? it's an easy one Have fun. > Given a 50% sizce increase on binaries alpha should have another 1.8G > of debs. If those 500 packages make up 1.2G (+50%=1.8G) then the 50% > claim would be right. Like Richard said, that's hard to believe since not everything in a package is a executable. Anyway: $ dpkg --contents libc6_2.3.2-4_i386.deb | grep /lib/libc-2.3.2.so -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1143024 2003-08-26 13:47:34 ./lib/libc-2.3.2.so $ dpkg --contents libc6.1_2.3.2-4_alpha.deb | grep /lib/libc-2.3.2.so -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1586408 2003-08-26 19:47:37 ./lib/libc-2.3.2.so $ dpkg --contents libc6.1_2.3.2-4_ia64.deb | grep /lib/libc-2.3.2.so -rwxr-xr-x root/root 2391480 2003-08-26 19:10:55 ./lib/libc-2.3.2.so -- Marcelo
