+============================
+
+I have a report that Alpine Linux uses BusyBox for its utilities. In
+particular, the BusyBox ls does not have a -f option. This option is
+needed in at least one of the tests.
+
+Install coreutils on your Alpine Linux system:
+
+ apk add coreutils
+
+in order to get a fully POSIX-compliant ls.
