Package: base-files Version: 6.0squeeze6 Severity: minor
The directory /usr/games is created by this package: $ dpkg -S /usr/games base-files: /usr/games IMHO this directory should not be a "base file" anymore. LFH says "Once upon a time, this directory contained network games files. Rarely used now." (http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/usr.html) The background issue is to build Debian Systems where no "games" occurs anywhere is consistently possible with the Debian packaging. Since user "games" has "/usr/games" as home directory by default, the change may affect other packages as well. IMHO the user "games" is not required either as a default user and especially not with that home directory. In fact it is OK to fix this for next stable release. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (1500, 'stable'), (550, 'stable-updates'), (550, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686-bigmem (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE@euro, LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages base-files depends on: ii gawk [awk] 1:3.1.7.dfsg-5 GNU awk, a pattern scanning and pr ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-15 a pattern scanning and text proces base-files recommends no packages. base-files suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
