Package: atom4 Version: 4.1-6+b5 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Within the past few days, I have installed atom4 from Debian testing, using 'apt-get install atom4'. After having done so, I get the following: $ dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/atom4_4.1-6+b5_amd64.deb drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/games/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/doc/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/doc/atom4/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 3093 2003-03-13 09:03 ./usr/share/doc/atom4/README.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 216 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.amd64.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 1967 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- root/root 388 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/doc/atom4/copyright drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/games/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/games/atom4/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/man/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/man/man6/ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/menu/ -rw-r--r-- root/root 244 2013-07-31 12:20 ./usr/share/menu/atom4 $ dlocate atom4 atom4: /. atom4: /usr atom4: /usr/games atom4: /usr/share atom4: /usr/share/doc atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4 atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/README.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.amd64.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/copyright atom4: /usr/share/games atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4 atom4: /usr/share/man atom4: /usr/share/man/man6 atom4: /usr/share/menu atom4: /usr/share/menu/atom4 By comparison, I also get: $ apt-file search atom4 atom4: /usr/games/atom4 atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/README.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.amd64.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/changelog.Debian.gz atom4: /usr/share/doc/atom4/copyright atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/blackball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/blueball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/greenball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/purpleball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/redball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/tritile12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/turqball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-1.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-2.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-3.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-4.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-5.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/wheel12-6.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/whiteball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/games/atom4/yellowball12.xpm atom4: /usr/share/man/man6/atom4.6.gz atom4: /usr/share/menu/atom4 games-thumbnails: /usr/share/games/thumbnails/atom4.png lammps-doc: /usr/share/doc/lammps-doc/Eqs/compute_sna_atom4.jpg but that is a listing of files known to (a local record of the contents of) the archive as being in this package, not files actually installed on my system. Reinstalling the package from the same .deb file changes nothing. As far as I can tell, this package does not actually install any files outside of /usr/share/doc/, except for the menu file. I am reporting this as grave, because I see nothing to indicate that this would not happen the same way on any and every computer, and if that is the case this package is completely unusable. Please A: figure out why these files are missing from the currently installable package and correct that, B: determine that they are not missing from the .deb in the repositories and help me figure out why they are missing on my own machine, or C: have this package removed from the archive, or at least from testing for the release. (The last, obviously, is the least preferable option.) -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) -- debconf-show failed
