I apologize for bad wording (english isn't my native language), what I meant to say is don't start cluttering /usr/share before it has been agreed upon. A lot of the stuff that's traditionally located in the /usr/lib subtree is architecture independent and should be moved under /usr/share. I agree completely. We should move everything at once. If we don't, we'll start looking like Slackware. ;) (I remember chuckling when I learned that Slackware included a /usr/share with one file in it...) Don't get me wrong--I'm all for /usr/share, but I agree with Bernd. This should be fixed until we move everything to /usr/share, which will be when the FSSTND tells us to. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Ian Murdock : Extra info received and forwarded.

We'll be issuing an extensive recommendation for upgrading to conformance with the next edition some time before it is actually released. As far as this case goes, the skeletons are only referred to by Bison, so *cough* *mumble*. > bora:~$ dpkg --listfiles bison | grep /usr/share > /usr/share > /usr/share/bison.simple > /usr/share/bison.hairy > > In any case the directory /usr/share is certainly the wrong place for the > files. /usr/share is "certainly" a better place.
