Package: rootskel-gtk Version: 1.16 Severity: serious User: lintian-ma...@debian.org Usertags: file-in-usr-local
Justification: The package installs a file in /usr/local/... which is not allowed. The package should not be looking into /usr/loca/etc, anyway. The site admin already has a location to add site specific configuration: /etc. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.1.2 (Site-specific programs) for details. ,----[ 9.1.2 Site-specific programs ] | As mandated by the FHS, packages must not place any files in /usr/local, either | by putting them in the file system archive to be unpacked by dpkg or by | manipulating them in their maintainer scripts. | | However, the package may create empty directories below /usr/local so that the | system administrator knows where to place site-specific files. These are not | directories in /usr/local, but are children of directories in /usr/local. These | directories (/usr/local/*/dir/) should be removed on package removal if they are | empty. `---- 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 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
