Package: libfinance-quote-perl Version: 1.08-1 Severity: serious Justification: Violates perl policy
The libfinance-quote-perl package is installing binary-independent files into /usr/lib when it should actually put them into /usr/share. For information on how to build perl packages that conform with policy please see the Debian perl policy document at: http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ When building a package you can use lintian to help spot errors like this. Also the package has this line in the debian/control: Architecture: any which is incorrect, I think the further line specifying 'all' might be working as an override but this is probably not reliable behaviour. I notice you have not updated this package since July 2003. Having looked through the current list of bugs, especially requests for new upstream versions to fix important bugs, I would ask you to seriously consider whether you are still interested in maintaining this package. If not then please orphan the package so someone else can take it on. Details of orphaning packages can be found at: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-orphaning Thanks, Stephen Quinney -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages libfinance-quote-perl depends on: ii libhtml-tableextract-perl 1.08-1 Perl module that simplifies extrac ii libwww-perl 5.803-4 WWW client/server library for Perl ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libfinance-quote-perl recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
