Package: webgui
Version: 7.8.24-1
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: Policy 9.1.1


Section 9.1.1 of the Debian Policy Manual says that packages "must" comply
with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS), version 2.3, which in turn
define clear roles for /var/lib and /var/cache.

WebGUI's use of /var/lib/webgui/cache as a cache is incompatible with the
definition given in the FHSv2.3 for /var/lib. This use is perfectly
compatible with /var/cache, therefore the Debian package should install
its cache directory under /var/cache as mandated by the Debian Policy.

I'm filling this bug with upstream as I believe this change should also be
adopted by the authors for all of their Linux releases.

I'm not including my /etc/default/webgui as its contents are irrelevant to
this report.

Best regards
