Bug#1056915: libffado2: Move files into /usr (incl. DEP17 P7 mitigation)
Package: libffado2
Version: 2.4.7-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: helmutg@debian.org
Usertags: dep17p7
X-Debbugs-Cc: helmutg@debian.org
Dear Maintainer,
libffado2 contains udev files which are installed to /lib; these files
need to be moved to /usr/lib as part of Debian's usr-merge effort.
Because your package is Multi-Arch: same, an unfortunate corner-case can
occur whereby shared files (such as the udev rules) may be erroneously
removed on upgrades (please see DEP17[1] P7: Shared multiarch file
loss).
You will find a patch attached to move the udev files, including the
mitigation for the file loss scenario. Alternatively you can find the
changes in a salsa MR[2].
Please consider applying this patch at your earliest convenience. This
bug will be upgraded to release critical soon, as it blocks the overall
usr-merge effort which is being undertaken for the trixie release.
Many thanks,
Chris
