Package: gxmessage
Version: 2.20.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.2
Hello,
according to
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/arm64/gxmessage/filelist
the gxmessage package ships a file /usr/share/info/dir.gz on arm64.
Installing this package overwrites the index of installed info pages
making these inaccessible. Policy specifies "[/usr/share/info/dir] must
not be included in packages other than install-info." in 12.2.
I guess the relevant difference between arm64 and the others is that the
arm64 build server has install-info installed while the others don't.
At least the armhf build log[1] contains
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./gxmessage.info
'/build/buildd-gxmessage_2.20.0-1-armhf-l8Tt8T/gxmessage-2.20.0/debian/gxmessage/usr/share/info'
install-info
--info-dir='/build/buildd-gxmessage_2.20.0-1-armhf-l8Tt8T/gxmessage-2.20.0/debian/gxmessage/usr/share/info'
'/build/buildd-gxmessage_2.20.0-1-armhf-l8Tt8T/gxmessage-2.20.0/debian/gxmessage/usr/share/info/gxmessage.info'
install-info: warning: nothing done since /usr/bin/install-info doesn't
exist,
install-info: warning: you might want to install an info-browser
package.
while for arm64[2] the two last lines are not there.
Best regards
Uwe
