Bug#552669: maintainer-script-modifies-netbase-managed-file preinst:9 /etc/services
Package: afbackup
Version: 3.5.3-2
Severity: serious
User: lintian-maint@debian.org
Usertags: maintainer-script-modifies-netbase-managed-file
Justification: The configuration files /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and
/etc/rpc are managed by the netbase package and must not be
modified by other packages.
Instead of doing this, please file a wishlist bug against netbase to have an
appropriate entry added.
Refer to Debian Policy Manual section 11.2 (Daemons) for details.
,----[ 11.2 Daemons ]
| The configuration files /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/rpc are managed
| by the netbase package and must not be modified by other packages.
|
| If a package requires a new entry in one of these files, the maintainer should
| get in contact with the netbase maintainer, who will add the entries and release
| a new version of the netbase package.
