Why do you think these should be in /var/? These are only updated through new packages, I have never had a request for users that want to modify them. It is true that you can update this through tiger. > And perhaps even: > /usr/lib/tiger/systems/Linux/2/debian_advisories > /usr/lib/tiger/doc/explain.idx The idx file only gets updated when the txt files under /usr/lib/tiger/doc are updated (again, through a package update). The debian_advisories is updated with new package versions too. Admins are not supposed to modify that file. > These should be moved to /var if I'm correct. > Also when one uses tiger -G files should be written to /var. Well, actually that's a feature that nobody requested before. But it's true that those changes should be done in /var. > Another thing is that many files are not listed as being part of the > package, e.g. /etc/tiger/tigerrc. Which files? $ dpkg -L tiger |grep tiger/tigerrc /etc/tiger/tigerrc ? Regards Javier
