Package: caffeine Version: 2.9.8-1 Severity: serious Justification: Policy §9.1.1 / FHS §4.1 and §4.11
By chance I stumbled upon the two unexpected files /usr/VERSION /usr/compile_translations.py and noticed that these both belong to caffeine. These two files definitely don't belong there. I though can't find any explicit rule, but IIRC there should be no file at all directly in /usr/, just directories or symlinks to directories. FHS seems to declare that indirectly though by declaring where all the files belong to: /usr/share/, /usr/lib*/, /usr/*bin/, etc. Python scripts either belong into /usr/bin/ or /usr/libexec/ or maybe /usr/lib/python3/ or /usr/share/python3/, but definitely not into /usr/. (And usually without the .py suffix.) And the /usr/VERSION file seems completely displaced. Maybe it should go into /usr/share/caffeine/ or so. Not to mention that both filenames, especially /usr/VERSION are overly generic. Lintian actually also argues about this as file-in-unusual-dir: https://lintian.debian.org/sources/caffeine -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (980, 'unstable-debug'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental'), (105, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.16.0-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages caffeine depends on: ii gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 0.5.90-7 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.24.33-1 ii python3 3.9.8-1 ii python3-ewmh 0.1.6-2 ii python3-gi 3.42.0-3 ii python3-pkg-resources 59.6.0-1.2 ii python3-xlib 0.29-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.3-4.1 caffeine recommends no packages. caffeine suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
