Bug#552584: file-in-usr-local /usr/local/etc
Package: rootskel-gtk Version: 1.16 Severity: serious User: lintian-ma...@debian.org Usertags: file-in-usr-local Justification: The package installs a file in /usr/local/... which is not allowed. The package should not be looking into /usr/loca/etc, anyway. The site admin already has a location to add site specific configuration: /etc. Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 9.1.2 (Site-specific programs) for details. ,[ 9.1.2 Site-specific programs ] | As mandated by the FHS, packages must not place any files in /usr/local, either | by putting them in the file system archive to be unpacked by dpkg or by | manipulating them in their maintainer scripts. | | However, the package may create empty directories below /usr/local so that the | system administrator knows where to place site-specific files. These are not | directories in /usr/local, but are children of directories in /usr/local. These | directories (/usr/local/*/dir/) should be removed on package removal if they are | empty. ` manoj -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.4-anzu-2 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Next upstream release of GRUB (1.97~beta5) will have its kFreeBSD loader
renamed (from "freebsd" to "kfreebsd") to reflect that it is loading the
kernel of FreeBSD rather than FreeBSD itself. Since GRUB 1.96 didn't
include a kFreeBSD loader at all, there's no backward compatibility in
this change.
Attached patch modifies build/boot/kfreebsd/grub-kfreebsd-*.cfg to use
the new interface. Please let us know when it is appropiate for us to
upload the new version. We can coordinate through IRC or whichever way
you prefer.

Ah, it seems a test for this was indeed added in Lintian in the not too distant past. That also explains why [1] shows "unused override" for many of our packages for that tag. Note that both live-installer and userdevfs are listed on the page and *are* D-I packages. live-installer also has a deb, and thus _should_ have a standards version. I'll file a BR. userdevfs only has a udeb, so that looks like a bug somewhere. Ah, I see the reason. Current version in the archive uses XB-Package-Type instead of XC-Package-Type. But that has already been corrected in SVN, so should get resolved with the next upload. Thanks for the reply Joerg. Guess I'll also drop all the no longer needed overrides for our packages.

Frank, as our lintian interface :), said that lintian should detect it runs on/with udebs and then disable checks that make no sense for udebs. So if lintian warns for such packages as udebs about things udebs dont actually have to follow, that should probably adapted there, though we can easily move tags if its not possible to detect in lintian. Now, in this case there is no need to move it, as looking at http://lintian.debian.org/tags/no-standards-version-field.html shows that we do not see any of the D-I packages, so I assume lintian is detecting it properly nd we do not need to move it. Should an upload fail because of this and/or lintian behaving funnily we can still look at it then, but I assume it wont. -- bye, Joerg You're in good shape for being a Debian, with a SAP background ... anything has to look good from there... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Because udebs don't follow loads of policy requirements (which is allowed because of their nature), and because that makes blindly updating the standards version with policy updates a rather meaningless job, the D-I team has removed the standards version fields from most source packages that produce only udebs; they include a lintian override for that. So having that tag in nowayout would mean that uploads of udebs will start failing massively. Thanks, FJP signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Installation Guide: please commit pending changes
Hi, I'm currently preparing the patches to drop the arches alpha and m68k from the Installation Guide. The plan is to update both the English version and all translations. The changes are not huge, but they affect a fairly large number of files. If you have pending changes, then please commit them ASAP to avoid conflicts after I commit my changes. If you do not have any pending changes, then I would suggest to postpone doing translation updates until after I have committed my changes.
