Subject: Bug#4006: Fileutils has /usr/libexec directory

From: [email-masked] (David Engel)

Package: fileutils
Version: 3.13-2

The fileutils package has an empty /usr/libexec directory in the .deb
file.  I don't think the FSSTND supports libexec yet, so the directory
should be removed.

This dir is standard by make install in gnu packages and didn't see
any harm so will not do an update just for removing this dir if you
don't mind.  If someone can come up with serious problems having this
empty dir in the package I'll remove it.

Hello,

> empty dir in the package I'll remove it.

The new FHS will include /usr/libexec and a few other changes which wil
require a lot of new packages to be released. Personally I like the new
draft very much.

Greetings

Well, since Linux does not use libexec, it can confuse users and other
developers.  It should be removed in the next maintenance revision or
before the next public release of Debian, which ever comes first.
