Package: latex-xcolor Version: 2.11-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts
Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails As putting files into /usr/local is also a violation of http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.1.2 I'm setting the severity to serious. >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 0m53.8s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /usr/local/share/texmf/ not owned /usr/local/share/texmf/ls-R not owned This problem is usually caused by running mktexlsr (or texhash) without path arguments from a maintainer script. The recommende solution is to switch to use dh_installtex and have this generate most (or perhaps even all) of the maintainer scripts content. Otherwise run mktexlsr with the tree as argument where the package installs its files, which is usually mktexlsr /usr/share/texmf There has been some further discussion about these bugs in this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-tex-maint/2012/04/msg00306.html Please have a look at the Debian-TeX-Policy (in the tex-common package) for the current practice of handling TeX packages. For further TeX packaging related questions contact debian-tex-ma...@lists.debian.org cheers, Andreas
