Package: busybox Version: 1:1.1.3-2 Severity: serious Tags: patch Justification: Policy 12.5
The Debian policy requires the copyright file to hold the upstream copyright information. I know that it is an agregate of many packages, each with its own author, thus making copyright asertion difficult. I know that the upstream author of the actual agregate package is also the Debian package maintainer. A suggested fix is in the attached patch -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=he_IL (charmap=ISO-8859-8) Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries busybox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
