The old rule of thumb "a pint's a pound the world around" is inaccurate in two ways (#1, it only applied to US pints, not Imperial pints; #2 it's not very precise even for US pints, since an actual US pint of pure water weighs about 1.04375 pounds and that value varies slightly by temperature).

4 pints 12 2/3 ounces would weigh pretty close to five pounds.
