Package: base-files Version: 3.1.14 Severity: important Hello,
The FHS seems to require the existence of a directory /usr/local/etc - see http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY (N.B. this is also permitted to be a symlink to a directory /etc/local but I wouldn't recommend this because it might conceivably confuse GNU stow, and people can always make this modification on their own systems if they wish.) Since base-files is responsible for creating all the other subdirs of /usr/local in its postinst, it stands to reason that it should create this one as well. This has been requested in the "real world", not just as an FHS compatibility nitpick - see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2006/08/msg00796.html A strict reading of the bug severity definitions would make this a severity "serious" bug since it's an FHS "must", but I don't want to interfere with any release plans so I'm filing it as "important". -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-3-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages base-files depends on: ii base-passwd 3.5.11 Debian base system master password ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-11 a pattern scanning and text proces base-files recommends no packages. -- no debconf information best regards, -- Kevin B.
