Hi, 

I discovered that gaze alien wrongly reported some valid sorcery-installed
files as alien. 
I'll take the example of some emacs files. 

$ sorcery -v
1.14.2-rc5

$ gaze alien
[...]
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/abbrev.el.gz
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/abbrevlist.el.gz
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/add-log.el.gz
[...]

$ gaze install emacs
[...]
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./abbrev.el.gz
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./abbrevlist.el.gz
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./add-log.el.gz
[...]

It seems that the install script doesn't handle single dots in path names. 
And there are duplicates in the install log:
$ gaze install emacs
[...]
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./abbrev.elc
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/abbrev.elc
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./abbrevlist.elc
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/abbrevlist.elc
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/./add-log.elc
/usr/share/emacs/22.3/lisp/add-log.elc
[...]

As duplicates are indeed a bad thing, I decided to fix the install script
instead of gaze alien: 

*** /root/libtrack.old  2008-10-11 17:25:07.000000000 +0200
--- /var/lib/sorcery/modules/libtrack   2008-10-11 17:27:19.000000000 +0200
***************
*** 227,232 ****
--- 227,233 ----
      filter_excluded                     > $OUTPUT
    else
      parse_iw $INPUT                     |
+     sed "s#/\(\./\)\+#/#g"              |
      sort                                |
      uniq                                |
      install_log_filter $INSTALL_ROOT "" |

With this change, gaze alien doesn't report any more file from emacs, once
emacs is recast. 

One could add the same fix to gaze alien to handle not-recast spells, but I'm
not sure it's useful as the bug will disappear as spells are updated. 

I dont'know if this happens as well with staged install. 

Could this patch be integrated ?
Thanks
