Re: BUG: Debian 11 version of bibletime - was [Re: Problems with "Bible Time" and "Xiphos"]
(What I wrote below is) tl;dr :: Is localepurge installed on the system(s) where the handbook is not reachable? I can't reproduce it just this second (even though I thought I encountered it just a couple hours ago during upgrade), but I swear I've seen docs occasionally included in what is purged. On average, this is what is seen as the localepurge's operation feedback: localepurge: Disk space freed: 1564 KiB in /usr/share/locale localepurge: Disk space freed:640 KiB in /usr/share/man localepurge: Disk space freed: 0 KiB in /usr/share/tcltk localepurge: Disk space freed: 0 KiB in /usr/share/help I'm about "this sure" that I've additionally seen /usr/share/doc appear there as a fifth line, too. Down below, I've posted file paths for all four currently available bibletime-data versions. There's been some change going on. In that case AND if something like localepurge is installed, maybe there's a potential bug that needs addressed on one end or the other. On the "maybe not" side, I went ahead and installed bibletime on Bookworm. Nothing at all was purged on the four above lines. BUT: Maybe something's purged in earlier Debian releases...?? I don't have any installed to test drive it. My understanding of localepurge is that it's about purging materials that are installed by default in some packages but that a User declaring a language specific LANG might not ever need. Am saying that because I noticed several language options in the bibletime handbook directories. That provides a place where a glitch might result in a needed language accidentally getting purged. As a related aside, this webpage: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/180400/is-it-safe-to-empty-usr-share-doc Says it found this in localepurge's own docs: "Please note, that this tool is a hack which is not integrated with Debian's package management system and therefore is not for the faint of heart. This program interferes with the Debian package management and does provoke strange, but usually harmless, behaviour of programs related with apt/dpkg like dpkg-repack, reportbug, etc. Responsibility for its usage and possible breakage of your system therefore lies in the sysadmin's (your) hands."

A slightly minor "pain", but I just downloaded and peeked into all four bibletime-data versions available in Debian's repositories. These are the paths that resulted: Stretch (oldoldstable) bibletime-data_2.10.1-3_all/usr/share/bibletime/docs/handbook Buster (oldstable) bibletime-data_2.11.2-11_all/usr/share/bibletime/docs/handbook Bullseye (stable) bibletime-data_3.0-5_all/usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook Bookworm (testing)/Sid (unstable) bibletime-data_3.0.2-1_all/usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/handbook Bookworm/Sid's pbibletime-data parent directory also contains this symlink: bibletime-data_3.0.2-1_all/usr/share/doc/bibletime/handbook There may be other symlinks that I missed, but that's enough for now. Feels like they're toying with ways to do something like accommodate for future growth (additions). Change happens. Always copacetic here as long as maintainers have made all appropriate respective alterations within the programming code so that everything continues to function as expected. Since some members are successfully reading their handbook here, sounds like that happened so something else is glitching somewhere.

Apt-File isn't installed by default. (But I got it easily) Okay, apt-file is bigger than a bread basket. So I will defer to the other apt-file experts. However, your symptom suggests that bibletime-data might not have been completely Installed. Good luck! Kenneth Parker

I don't know what's going on in southwest Missouri, but in Wyoming it's there, it's a directory with some 1200 files and directories in it, and it's provided by package bibletime-data. charles@hawk:~$ apt-file search bibletime-data bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-config.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-intro.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-bookshelfmanager.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-output.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-parts.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-config.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-intro.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-bookshelfmanager.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-output.html bibletime-data: /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/bibletime/handbook/html/ar/hdbk-op-parts.html charles@hawk:~$ -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

I'm not sure how you've missed them. If you look in /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/ as suggested, apart from the obligatory changelogs and copyright, there appears to be only one path to follow and, remarkably, it's called bibletime: this contains the guide, the howtos and a licence. Looking at buster, I think they've corrected the docs location /usr/share/bibletime/docs/ to /usr/share/doc/bibletime-data/. As for your direct question, the usual place AIUI: /var/lib/apt/lists/. Or, more pedantically, whichever repository you've pointed APT at in your sources list. Of course, everything may be different in KS. Cheers, David.
