--- Begin Message ---Package: iproute2 Version: 6.1.0-3 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.2 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Dear Maintainer, your iproute2 6.5.0-3 package installs configuration files in /usr/lib/iproute2. This is a blatant violation of debian-policy section 10.7.2. "Configuration files / Location" which states as follows: > Any configuration files created or used by your package must reside > in /etc. If there are several, consider creating a subdirectory of > /etc named after your package. As I've mentioned in Bug#1051577 this is related to upstream commit commit 0a0a8f12fa1b03dd0ccbebf5f85209d1c8a0f580 Read configuration files from /etc and /usr Add support for the so called "stateless" configuration pattern (read from /etc, fall back to /usr), giving system administrators a way to define local configuration without changing any distro-provided files. In practice this means that each configuration file FOO is loaded from /usr/lib/iproute2/FOO unless /etc/iproute2/FOO exists. but moving the config files from /etc/iproute to /usr/lib is misguided and should be overriden in your Debian package. Thanks, --Daniel

Those should be copied to /etc for modification, which is config. Bastian -- No problem is insoluble. -- Dr. Janet Wallace, "The Deadly Years", stardate 3479.4
