(Or checked at all if it is explicitly not available.) The test suite doesn't know what's available and what's not until it tries ... and being able to correctly determine that it's [not] there (i.e., that zmodload does the right thing) is one of the things the tests are supposed to cover. It's checked for the obvious QA reason: If it *is* there, then you want to know that it's working correctly. The test suite has to be reasonbly comprehensive, not depend on local configurations. -- Barton E. Schaefer
