Source: pcp
Version: 3.9.2
Severity: serious
Tags: security upstream
On i386, pcp ships the upstream binary src/pmdas/mmv/mmvdump into
/var/lib/pcp/pmdas/mmv/mmvdump without rebuilding it. This violates
Debian policy and might be used by upstream to introduce backdoors or
other security issues.

As per last bug update, this appears to be some confusion
on the part of the reporter and/or a machine configuration
issue when building - certainly there's no evidence of the
source tar.gz containing a binary. Closing, please reopen
if additional information comes to hand that sheds further
light on the situation - thanks!
