I suspect (but haven't checked with debian) that its because of the FHS policy on /usr/lib. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /usr/lib : Libraries for programming and packages Purpose /usr/lib includes object files, libraries, and internal binaries that are not intended to be executed directly by users or shell scripts. [22] Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data exclusively used by the application must be placed within that subdirectory. [23] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since its an image its not any of those listed things, and has to go in /usr/share. It would be nice to fix, but i won't be too hung up over it. thanks, kk -- Karl Goetz, (Kamping_Kaiser / VK5FOSS) Debian contributor / gNewSense Maintainer http://www.kgoetz.id.au No, I won't join your social networking group
