reopen 278479 thanks hey, I don't see how the FHS can be interpreted in this way, and the link to the sourceforge mail archive is broken, so I'm reopening this bug.
The first section of Chapter 4. "The /usr Hierarchy" in the FHS says: "/usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere." pciids dbase is certainly something that varies with time, so it must not be written in /usr, but should be stored elsewhere. I also know of no counterexample to this inside Debian. The local administrator isn't even granted permission under the FHS to make changes under /usr, as far as I can tell, with the exclusion of the /usr/local hierarchy. -- dann frazier | HP Open Source and Linux Organization -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
