Tag versions

Iarch-dep-package-has-big-usr-share

The tag is present in Lintian version 2.114.140. That is the most recent version we know about.

We use semantic versions. The patch number is a commit step indicator relative to the 2.111.0 release tag in our Git repository.

You can find the detection logic for this version at commit ce6249d. For merge requests, please use the latest version in the Lintian check huge-usr-share.

Visibility: info

The package has a significant amount of architecture-independent data (over 4MB, or over 2MB and more than 50% of the package) in /usr/share but is an architecture-dependent package. This is wasteful of mirror space and bandwidth since it means distributing multiple copies of this data, one for each architecture.

If the data in /usr/share is not architecture-independent, this is a Policy violation that should be fixed by moving the data elsewhere (usually /usr/lib).

For more information please consult:

Debian Developer's Reference section 6.7.5

hol-light

- # hol-light should be Architecture: all, because it only contains sources and architecture independent OCaml files (cmi and cmo). However, until Bug #549679 is fixed, an arch:all package might be uninstallable on some architectures. Therefore, for the time being, hol-light is arch:any although it only installs material in /usr/share.
