Package: apt-show-versions Version: 0.22.7 Severity: important [~]# rm -rf /var/cache/apt-show-versions/ [~]# apt-show-versions can't create /var/cache/apt-show-versions/files: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/apt-show-versions line 199.
This is a violation of a "must" directive of the policy (FHS section "/var/cache : Application cache data"), thus technically RC (but so trivially recoverable that I'm not filing as such). Obviously recovery from cache deletion is impossible as non-root, but that's expected and documented, so that's ok. Yet it fails both on the cronjob (that's supposed to build the cache!) and on invocation by root. Fix: stick a mkdir -p somewhere. I also guess it'd be better to create this directory during cache build rather than ship it in the package.
