Packagelist

The following packages are placing files into directories which are not owned by them or their requirements:

Category 1 errors

Category 2 errors

Category 3 errors


Explanations

Category 1 errors
This category lists packages with (non-special) directories which are owned neither by the package itself nor an other package.
Such packages will cause severe and hard-detectable system-errors when they are installed with a paranoid administrator setup (umask 077).
Category 2 errors
Category 2 packages are similarly to category 1 packages, but must be handled specially, because e.g. a bugzilla-bugreport exists already for them. An example are directories under /usr/share/locale/ for which no solution was found yet.
Category 3 errors
Although packages of this category are using directories not owned by them or their requirements, there exists another package owning these directories.
Such packages can be fixed sometimes by inserting a corresponding `Requires(pre,postun): XX' tag into the .spec-file, where XX is a proper package owning the directory.
