Package: wine-unstable Version: 1.1.27-1 Severity: serious Justification: violates the FHS
The wine-unstable package on amd64 installs files to /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu/wine. This is a violation of the FHS, which grants only that: Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data exclusively used by the application must be placed within that subdirectory. [23] /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu is not an application subdirectory, as the wine-unstable package's usage demonstrates: it's an architecture-specific directory heirarchy. That's inconsistent with the FHS as currently written. We are on track to have a Policy exception for /usr/lib/<triplet> directories (bug #542865), but in that case those directories will be reserved for use by multiarch-enabled packages, which wine-unstable is not. An amd64 package putting files in /usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu will cause file conflicts with any future multiarch-enabled wine package. Please move these files back to /usr/lib/wine. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
