Package: lintian Version: 2.5.26 Severity: wishlist The spec in /usr/share/doc/shared-mime-info/ tells that most stuff under /usr/share/mime/ is a cache generated from /usr/share/mime/packages/.
This was arguably a design decision that violates the FHS and does not help anyone to understand what's going on, and when some upstream packages installs such a file by error, it's not so easy to track the reason for the resulting piuparts failures (see http://bugs.debian.org/749582 and http://bugs.debian.org/726799) A lintian check seems to be a good idea in that case. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (101, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.24.51.20140903-1 ii bzip2 1.0.6-7 ii diffstat 1.58-1 ii file 1:5.19-2 ii gettext 0.19.2-2 ii hardening-includes 2.5+nmu1 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.1 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b2 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.38-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.37-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.17.13 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.194-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.03-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.92-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.33-2+b1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-1 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.09-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii man-db 2.6.7.1-1 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.20.0-6 ii t1utils 1.37-2 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libautodie-perl 2.25-1 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.18-3+b1 ii perl 5.20.0-6 ii perl-modules [libautodie-perl] 5.20.0-6 Versions of packages lintian suggests: pn binutils-multiarch <none> ii dpkg-dev 1.17.13 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.71-1+b2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 ii libyaml-perl 1.09-1 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
