Bug#511541: Acknowledgement (cheese: Some images are duplicated in the binary-package)

[Frank Lin PIAT]

Hi,

It seems that there are quite a few other packages with the same bug:

md5sum /usr/share/gnome/help/*/*/figures/*.{png,jpg} \
  | sed -e 's,/usr/share/gnome/help/\(.*\)/.*/figures/,\1 ,' \
  | sort | uniq -c | grep -Ev '^ *1 ' > list


#Let's identifies the packages that have some duplicates files:
sed -e 's/.*  //' -e 's/ .*//' list | sort | uniq -c

$sed -e 's/^.*  //' -e 's,\(.*\) \(.*\),/usr/share/gnome/help/\1/\*/figures/\2,' list | sort -u > list2

$du -ch $(cat list2)

The total is 160MB (this total is wrong, because it includes the weight
of all translation, even if only 2 out of ten have the same checksum)

Still, I guess it should be possible to save quite some space by
symlinking duplicate files.
