Package: libfreenect0.5 Version: 1:0.5.3-3.1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17p7 X-Debbugs-Cc: helm...@debian.org
Dear Maintainer, libfreenect0.5 contains udev files which are installed to /lib; these files need to be moved to /usr/lib as part of Debian's usr-merge effort. Because your package is Multi-Arch: same, an unfortunate corner-case can occur whereby shared files (such as the udev rules) may be erroneously removed on upgrades (please see DEP17[1] P7: Shared multiarch file loss). You will find a patch attached to move the udev files, including the mitigation for the file loss scenario. Alternatively you can find the changes in a salsa MR[2]. Please consider applying this patch at your earliest convenience. This bug will be upgraded to release critical soon, as it blocks the overall usr-merge effort which is being undertaken for the trixie release. Many thanks, Chris [1] https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge [2] https://salsa.debian.org/neurodebian-team/libfreenect/-/merge_requests/3
