Package: lintian Version: 2.5.111 Severity: wishlist Usertags: obsolete Three packages install files in /usr/share/hal/ but this directory is no longer looked at by any package in Debian since hal was removed in 2014 because it was replaced by udev. I will file bugs on the three affected packages but it would be good for lintian to warn about use of /usr/share/hal/ so that no new or updated packages add files there. https://bugs.debian.org/747662 $ apt-file search /usr/share/hal/ libmtp-common: /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/20thirdparty/20-libmtp9.fdi libsane-common: /usr/share/hal/fdi/preprobe/10osvendor/20-libsane.fdi ntfs-3g: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/25-ntfs-3g-policy.fdi -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (900, 'testing-debug'), (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable-debug'), (800, 'unstable'), (790, 'buildd-unstable'), (700, 'experimental-debug'), (700, 'experimental'), (690, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages lintian depends on: ii binutils 2.31.1-7 ii bzip2 1.0.6-9 ii diffstat 1.61-1+b1 ii dpkg 1.19.2 ii file 1:5.34-2 ii gettext 0.19.8.1-8 ii intltool-debian 0.35.0+20060710.4 ii libapt-pkg-perl 0.1.34+b1 ii libarchive-zip-perl 1.64-1 ii libcgi-pm-perl 4.40-1 ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.51-1 ii libclone-perl 0.41-1+b1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.19.2 ii libemail-valid-perl 1.202-1 ii libfile-basedir-perl 0.08-1 ii libipc-run-perl 20180523.0-1 ii liblist-moreutils-perl 0.416-1+b4 ii libparse-debianchangelog-perl 1.2.0-13 ii libtext-levenshtein-perl 0.13-1 ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 ii liburi-perl 1.74-1 ii libxml-simple-perl 2.25-1 ii libyaml-libyaml-perl 0.74+repack-1+b1 ii man-db 2.8.4-2+b1 ii patchutils 0.3.4-2 ii perl [libdigest-sha-perl] 5.28.0-3 ii t1utils 1.41-2 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages lintian recommends: ii libperlio-gzip-perl 0.19-1+b5 Versions of packages lintian suggests: ii binutils-multiarch 2.31.1-7 ii dpkg-dev 1.19.2 ii libhtml-parser-perl 3.72-3+b3 ii libtext-template-perl 1.53-1 -- no debconf information -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
