** Description changed: + [Impact] + hybrid-detect writes to /usr/share, which not be written to after package installation. hybrid-detect may fail to function properly if used on hybrid systems with read-only /usr partitions. + + [Fix] + Write to /var/lib instead. + + [Regression Potential] + Scope of possible regression is very limited; this only affects the hybrid-detect utility, which is only relevant on certain kinds of hybrid systems. + + [Original Report] When running debsums on my system I noticed the following entry: debsums: changed file /usr/share/nvidia-common/last_gfx_boot (from nvidia-common package) - - I tracked it down to hybrid-detect changing that file at runtime. This is definitely wrong as nothing should ever write to /usr after package installation. I'd suggest moving this to /var/lib instead. + I tracked it down to hybrid-detect changing that file at runtime.
