Dear -devel list, Recently I am looking into an orphaned but rather important library package, libjson-c (popcon >35000, with udeb package). Suprisingly the library libjson- c3 was installed into /lib/<triplet>/ instead of /usr/lib/<triplet>/.
I digged a little bit into it and found out that it was originally due to upstart that needed it during bootup [2] so the lib should be placed into /lib according to FHS. However, with upstart disappeared from Debian archive (since 2016), other init systems seem not having dependency on json-c and that usrmerge is approaching, I'm wondering if we should move the installation path back to /usr/lib. Will there be any side effects? I plan to make a clean-up upload for json-c based on current version in sid (instead of starting a transition). Since it provides a udeb package, words from the d-i team is also valuable. Please also let me know your suggestions. -- Regards, Boyuan Yang [1] https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/json-c [2] https://bugs.debian.org/695566
