Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2022-02-11 15:37:06 UTC
samba does $subject, which is against the FHS and the more modern file-hierarchy(7) standard. It is surprising, and will cause problems when e.g. changes like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/VarSubvol4SilverblueKinoite are implemented. Distro executables need to live under /usr/.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcp-testsuite-5.3.6-2.fc36.x86_64pcp does $subject, which is against the FHS and the more modern file-hierarchy(7) standard. It is surprising, and will cause problems when e.g. changes like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/VarSubvol4SilverblueKinoite are implemented. Distro executables need to live under /usr/.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ctdb-pcp-pmda-4.16.0-0.1.rc2.fc36.x86_64

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. file /var/lib/pcp/*/*/* | grep ELF

Actual results:
/var/lib/pcp/pmdas/ctdb/pmdactdb

Expected results:
(no output)

How reproducible:
Deterministic

Steps to Reproduce:
1. file /var/lib/pcp/*/*/* | grep ELF

Comment 1 Alexander Bokovoy 2022-02-14 10:16:47 UTC
Closing as NOT A BUG due to pcp rejecting the corresponding bug as well.
