Description Christoph Karl 2024-05-20 06:16:42 UTC

It seems that it is common practice to separate into language:
/usr/share/help/el/...
/usr/share/help/ne/...
So I suggest that the language directories are created by the filesystem package.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fresh fc40 installation
2. rpm -qf /usr/share/help/*

Actual Results:  
file /usr/share/help/bg is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/C is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/cs is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/da is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/de is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/el is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/es is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/eu is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/fa is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/fr is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/gl is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/hu is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/id is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/pt_BR is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/ru is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/sl is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/sv is not owned by any package
file /usr/share/help/uk is not owned by any package


Expected Results:  
filesystem-3.18-8.fc40.x86_64

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
