actually, the /usr/lib/... is just a symlink to /usr/share/..., so the files are indeed only stored once on your harddisk. > > I guess you are trying to have Pd's docs in its traditional location in > /usr/lib/pd and in a Debain-style /usr/share/doc path. > > I am also surprised there is > /usr/lib/puredata/extra > and / > /usr/lib/pd/extra > which are owned by different packages respectively. Why not make > /usr/lib/puredata equal to /usr/lib/pd? because they are not equal. /usr/lib/puredata is meant for externals that only work with the "puredata" package (aka Pd-vanilla), whereas /usr/lib/pd/extra is for externals that work with any flavour. this is a left-over from the days of the pipe-dreams of co-existing pd-vanilla and pd-extended Debian packages. today's forks (pd-l2ork, purrdata) actively reject the notion of binary compatibility (so they must not look for externals in /usr/lib/pd/extra) apart from that, i question your methodolofy: which package is the owner of /usr? gasdrm IOhannes
