Public bug reported:
Letting lintian speak:
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/dot.bashrc]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/dot.profile.md5sums]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/dot.profile]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/info.dir]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/motd]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/networks]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/profile.md5sums]
E: base-files: file-directly-in-usr-share [usr/share/profile]
Those files are duplicates: they are also installed in the right
location, see e.g.:
$ dpkg -L base-files | grep dot.bashrc
/usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc
/usr/share/dot.bashrc
I believe this is when the bug got introduced:
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-
files/commit/?h=applied/ubuntu/resolute-
updates&id=98a2554b049fe85b6ba371ca2b42d9676a99677b
In particular I believe the problem is with this added line:
+ install -p -m 644 share/* $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/
Thanks Tobias Heider for raising this.
