Package: lprint Version: 1.1.0-3 Severity: important Tags: patch trixie sid User: helm...@debian.org Usertags: dep17m2 dep17dhmovetousr
This package is part of the /usr-move (DEP17) transition, because it contains files in aliased locations and should have those files moved to the corresponding /usr location. The goal of this move is eliminating bugs arising from aliasing, such as file loss during package upgrades. The following files in the following binary packages are affected. lprint contains: * lib * lib/systemd * lib/systemd/system * lib/systemd/system/lprint.service You may add dh-sequence-movetousr to Build-Depends to perform the move. This is an easy and readily applicable measure that has been verified for this package using a test build. The main advantage of this method is the low effort and it just works when backporting to bookworm. However, it is more of a stop-gap measure as eventually the installation procedure should refer to the files that are actually used for installation. This often means updating debian/*.install files but also changing flags passed to a configure script or similar measures. In case you do not anticipate your package being uploaded to bookworm-backports, please prefer a manual move, but generally prefer moving over delaying any further. After having done this move, please keep in mind that the relevant changes need to be reverted for bookworm-backports, with these exceptions: Â * dh-sequence-movetousr and dh_movetousr cancel themselves. Â * dh_installsystemd and dh_installudev revert to the aliased location. Â * The pkg-config variables systemdsystemunitdir in systemd.pc and udevdir in udev.pc reverts to aliased. Please keep in mind that restructuring changes may introduce problems after moving. A change is considered restructuring if formerly aliased files formerly owned by one package are later to be owned by a package with a different name. Such uploads should be done to experimental and quarantine for three days before moving to unstable. This way, automatic analysis (https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/dumat) can detect problems and file bugs. Such bugs shall include support for resolving the problems. The severity of this bug shall be raised to RC on August 6th. For additional information about refer to https://wiki.debian.org/UsrMerge and https://subdivi.de/~helmut/dep17.html.
