Bug#362122: xbase-clients: package does not contain directories within which it contains files
Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: important
Hello,
The package file of xbase-clients does not seem to follow
consistently the usual convention of Debian packages, whereby any
directory that the packages has files in is also contained in the
package. In particular, the following directories seem to be missing:
/usr/include/X11
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps
/usr/lib/X11
/etc/X11/xinit
/etc/X11/Xresources
Especially the absence of /usr/lib/X11 is causing a lot of trouble,
because in previous versions of X it also exists as a symlink,
pointing to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11. As a result, when the new version of
xbase-clients is unpacked, the files that are meant for /usr/lib/X11
get unpacked in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 instead! A couple of symptoms
caused by this have already been reported in bugs #357713 and #361516.
Hopefully, this shouldn't be too complicated to fix.
Thanks,
Vasilis
