Package: libfile-sharedir-perl Version: 1.102-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
libfile-sharedir-perl is a packaging of File-ShareDir from CPAN. File-ShareDir installs two files to the share directory, sample.txt and subdir/sample.txt . These files can be used for test purposes by downstream libraries and, in fact, are used by the tests for Path-Resolver. This means that Path-Resolver's tests from CPAN do not pass if File-ShareDir was installed from apt instead of from CPAN, which can lead to confusion on the part of a user who just wants to install some libraries and move on. I don't know the Debian packaging system, but the `rm` in this program seems like the likely culprit: https://sources.debian.net/src/libfile-sharedir-perl/1.102-1/debian/rules/ -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.8 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.3-x86_64-linode76 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
