• Bug#1105836: base-files: /usr/share/base-files/staff-group-for-usr-loca

    From cacin@allfreemail.net@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 15 23:50:01 2025
    Package: base-files
    Version: 13.8
    Severity: wishlist

    Dear Maintainer,

    the file /usr/share/base-files/staff-group-for-usr-local contains
    information that is not valid since a few debian stable releases (it
    talks about debian wheezy), which could be misleading for anyone who
    finds this file on their modern systems.

    Please consider updating the contents of that file, or perhaps even
    getting rid of that file entirely.

    Thanks for the report.

    The file you mention is actually the master copy, which was
    copied to /etc in the postinst in the past (but not anymore).

    If a Debian system has the file in /etc, then what the file
    says is "correct" for such system, but those systems certainly
    don't need the master copy anymore, so yes, I will remove the file.

    Thanks.
