Package: chiark-backup Version: 4.1.28+nmu1 Severity: serious User: lintian-ma...@debian.org Usertags: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile
Files in /etc must be marked conffiles if they are included in a package. Otherwise they should be created by maintainer scripts. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 10.7 (Configuration files) for details. Filed as serious, since this is a violation of a must directive in policy, and also since a package with these files will currently get this package rejected. See http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html for details. This means the package has been deemed too buggy to be in Debian. manoj -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.4-anzu-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages chiark-backup depends on: pn chiark-rwbuffer <none> (no description available) pn chiark-utils-bin <none> (no description available) chiark-backup recommends no packages.
