Bug#564457: unowned files in /usr/local after purge (policy 6.8)
severity 564457 serious # your justification for downgrading was bogus, read below # thanks Hi, On Samstag, 9. Januar 2010, Julian Gilbey wrote: This file is generated by mktexlsr, it is not part of the package itself. Well, mktexlsr is part of texlive-base-bin, which is build from the same source package... but anyway, thats hardly the point. (I wont bother to reassign this bug from texlive-base to texlive-base-bin, but go ahead, if you think it makes a difference.) So lowering the severity to normal. Uhm, why? You violate policy and FHS, this is not to be downgraded to normal just because you think it's no big deal. Please re-read #528021. texlive could be made to delete this file during purge. The other alternative, removing /usr/local/share/texmf from either the default search paths or from the ls-R building path (or both) would potentially confuse lots of users - not a good thing. Please re-read #528021. (It's long, but worth it.) Thanks, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

reassign 564457 tex-common
retitle 564457 should not call mktexlsr without path argument in lsr trigger
thanks
As said in
just because you think it's no big deal. Please re-read #528021.
my contributions are restricted to coding, I consider this all a huge
pile of b...s... discussion.
Uploading in a minute, maybe we get the testing transition done even
if more rubbish bugs are found.

tex-common 2.06 uploaded. If anyone enjoy in these games, he can
run piuparts again and reopen if appropriate.

Thanks, great! piatti.debian.org runs piuparts all day, testing new packages as they appear. The results are visible at piuparts.debian.org :-) cheers, Holger signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

That does not help, because the bug only shows up if another
package *but* tex-common is installed and tested.
