Therein lies the problem. I did not include the findings from /usr/share.
There are too many problems for me to start filing bug reports. But I think if
a package has exclusive use of a directory in /var/cache /var/log /var/spool
/var/lib /etc /usr/share, it should declare ownership. It is a very simple
test to write. This can be megabytes of old logs or data.
And, I was also very surprised to find 10's of gigabytes of data in
$HOME/.cache/debuginfod_client I don't know how it got there, why it's so
big, or how to limit it.
Cheers,
