Description Radek Vykydal 2024-05-14 10:02:56 UTC
The license file is stored in /usr/share/doc/sdbus-c++ while it should be probably stored in /usr/share/licenses folder.

The issue was revealed by anaconda installer kickstart test testing --excludedocs package selection option: https://github.com/rvykydal/kickstart-tests/blob/master/packages-excludedocs.ks.in

We could workaround the issue in our tests but we are also filing this bug to see if it can be fixed on the sdbus-cpp packaging side. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. check where is the license stored

[rvykydal@prnot4 ~]$ rpm -qL sdbus-cpp
/usr/share/doc/sdbus-c++/COPYING

2.
3.
Actual Results:  
The license is stored in /usr/share/doc/sdbus-c++

Expected Results:  
The license is stored in /usr/share/licenses subfolder.

We hit a similar issue a while ago for xz package:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1590873

Comment 1 Aoife Moloney 2025-02-26 13:02:38 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle.
Changing version to 42.

Comment 2 Fedora Release Engineering 2026-05-06 11:41:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 42 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 42 on 2026-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 '42'.

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 42 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.
