Not really, no. Using ls and redirecting to /dev/null is not particularly elegant (and using the -l option to then just throw away the results is rather wasteful).

Code:
test -e /var/lib/libstdc++.so.5 || cp -v repository path

The || is a shorthand for "or else". The following is closer to what you have:

Code:
if ! [ -e /var/lib/libstdc++.so.5 ]
then
  cp repository path
  echo "new file copied" >&2
fi

Note that test and [ are really basically the same command.

       if given.

   serialize_conflict($conflict_obj)
       Returns a simple, serialized version of a Prophet::Conflict object suitable for comparison in tests.

       The serialized version is a hash reference containing the following keys:

	   records => { 'record_uuid' =>
			  { change_type => 'type',
			    props => { propchange_name => { source_old => 'old_val',
							    source_new => 'new_val',
							    target_old => 'target_val',
