Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.12-9
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 9.1.1
Hi.
I might have spotted a policy violation here (therefore the sevirity serious).
Policy section 9.1.1. specifies:
"The location of all installed files and directories must comply with the
Filesystem Hierarchy
Standard (FHS), version 2.3, with the exceptions noted below,..."
The FHS in turn specifies:
"If the gunzip and zcat programs exist, they must be symbolic or hard links to
gzip."
(see http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#SPECIFICOPTIONS2).
As far as I can tell this is not the case, right? The binaries even differ.
I also do not see any exception for this in section 9.1.1.
What's the reason for this?! :)
Cheers,
Chris.

Closing this bug with no further action taken, since if this is still
part of the FHS specification, it's clearly a bug there and not in the
gzip package.
