Package: lintian
Version: 2.115.3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: rra@debian.org
A section 8 manual page for a binary in /usr/libexec triggers:
I: kafs-client: spare-manual-page [usr/share/man/man8/kafs-dns.8.gz]
N:
N: Each manual page in /usr/share/man should have a reason to be there. This
N: manual page does not appear to have a valid reason to be shipped.
N:
N: For manual pages in sections 1 and 8, an executable (or a link to one)
N: should exist. This check currently considers all installation packages
N: created by the same sources, as long as they are present.
N:
N: Please refer to Manual pages (Section 12.1) in the Debian Policy Manual
N: and Bug#583125 for details.
N:
N: Visibility: info
N: Show-Always: no
N: Check: documentation/manual
N: Renamed from: manpage-without-executable
I think this is incorrect and section 8 is the appropriate section for
documenting root-only helper programs that may be installed in
/usr/libexec. (At least, if section 8 is not the right section, I'm not
sure what the right section would be.)
Fix is probably to just add /usr/libexec to the list of directories
checked for binaries to satisfy this test.
