That's wrong. Packages should avoid the installation of non-versioned (no SONAME) libraries in /usr/lib. Such plugins can often be loaded from special locations after minor changes in the program source. This is also often allowed and supported by upstream's configuration system. > Where does "." look up the libraries? Anywhere in $PATH.

Crap thinking. AFAICS no one of hundreds of maintainers came to the idea to put shell snippets there. ls /usr/bin/ -la | grep -v rwx | grep -v rws So why is your case different? > So, the common sense says /usr/bin is ok for gettext.sh, not the opposite. Common sense is something shareable with many other people. He presents only _his_ point of view.
