Package: lintian Version: 2.5.46 Severity: normal For a package I'm updating, lintian reported me about a non-FHS and a non-standard path.
W: sysprof: non-standard-dir-in-usr usr/libexec/ W: sysprof: file-in-unusual-dir usr/libexec/sysprof/sysprofd On searching the web on the topic, I see a discussion thread from more than a decade ago. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/05/msg00401.html The conclusion, from back then, seems to be to stick with the FHS. But with FHS 3.0, /usr/libexec/ is a recognized path. And lintian should be aware of it. http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html#usrlibexec -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (100, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.7.1bfqv8r2+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IN, LC_CTYPE=en_IN (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.27-5 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8 ii diffstat 1.61-1 ii file 1:5.28-4 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-1 ii hardening-includes 2.8+nmu2 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.29+b5 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.59-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 ii libclone-perl 0.38-2 ii libdata-alias-perl 1.20-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.10 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.200-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.07-1 ii libipc-run-perl 0.94-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-10 ii libperl5.22 [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.22.2-3 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.71-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.41-6+b1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-1 ii perl 5.22.2-3 ii t1utils 1.39-2 ii xz-utils 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2.1 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii dpkg 1.18.10 ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b1 ii perl 5.22.2-3 ii perl-modules-5.22 [libautodie-perl] 5.22.2-3 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.27-5 ii dpkg-dev 1.18.10 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-2 ii libtext-template-perl 1.46-1 -- no debconf information
