Package: pciutils
Version: 1:3.1.9-6
Severity: normal
(FHS compliance is a Debian Policy "must", but since it's only one
minor executable out of a set I'll leave the bug at "normal".)
The executable update-pciids requires root privileges to work, keeps
its manpage in section 8, and is obviously not something unprivileged
users should ever need to have on their PATH. Please move it from
/usr/bin to /usr/sbin where it belongs.
Fixing this would also close the minor bug #646509. Note the comments
in the upstream version of this script: it only expects to find the
file unwritable if it's on a read-only file system.
