According to Kevin,
this is a bug and should be fixed by having filesystem to own
/usr/lib/debug (like /usr/src/debug), and also having packages only to
own "their own" directories. Are saying that the current ownership is OK?
Whatever command I used, it was wrong. New datapoint:
$ repoquery --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='fedora*' -qf /usr/lib/debug
| wc -l
6089
The typical -debuginfo package contains several dirs:
$ rpmls geeqie-debuginfo|grep ^d
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/debug
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/debug/.build-id
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/be
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/debug/usr
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin
drwxr-xr-x /usr/src/debug/geeqie-1.1
drwxr-xr-x /usr/src/debug/geeqie-1.1/src
drwxr-xr-x /usr/src/debug/geeqie-1.1/src/icons
Larger ones contain many more dirs:
$ rpmls gcc-debuginfo|grep ^d|wc -l
893
Obviously, multiple -debuginfo packages share some of the dirs with
eachother. A package must include a dir for it to be removed when the package
gets uninstalled and the dir would be empty afterwards. If multiple
packages include the same dir (with the same ownership and permissions),
that is okay. Upon erasing the last package, the dirs would be removed.
And don't just focus on just the top dir. If you wanted to move ownership
of dirs into a single package only, such as "filesystem", you would need to
move other dirs too, such as /usr/lib/debug/usr/{bin,lib,libexec}, basically
any dir that may be used by more than one package some time in the future.
Yes, I have noted that in the bug. The basic question remains whether
to be kosher or not, Panu (and I think also you?) arguing that it's more
problems than benefit.
Personally, I have accepted Panu's explanation that the multiple
ownership is a working solution for the auto-generated debug packages.
Perhaps some of the elderly still thinks this should be done by the
rules, which means that the auto-generated Provides: needs to be
adjusted. However, nothing in this thread has convinced that it's worth
the effort so far.
cheers!
