Bug#356883: xserver-xorg-core: error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserver/SecurityPolicy



Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1:1.0.1-2
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental

Hello,

as the title suggest, every time I launch `startx` I have that output,
which is normal, as there's no SecurityPolicy file on my box where
X.org could find it:
=====
gismo:/home/luca# updatedb
gismo:/home/luca# locate SecurityPolicy
/mnt/hurd/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

gismo:/home/luca# dlocate SecurityPolicy
gismo:/home/luca# update-dlocatedb
gismo:/home/luca#
=====

Then I checked the xserver-xorg-core sources:
=====
luca@gismo:~/test$ apt-get source xserver-xorg-core
[...]

luca@gismo:~/test$ find ./ -name SecurityPolicy
./xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/SecurityPolicy

luca@gismo:~/test$ grep -r SecurityPolicy xorg-server-1.0.1/
[simplified version]
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/Makefile.in:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/security.c:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/SecurityPolicy:
xorg-server-1.0.1/Xext/Makefile.am:
xorg-server-1.0.1/ChangeLog:

luca@gismo:~/test$
=====

So, it seems that the dpkg-buildpackage doesn't install the
SecurityPolicy file.  I should admit that I don't know anything about
this file, so maybe it's normal it's not installed.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
