Lintian tag: aliased-location
Type: error
Description (from lintian-explain-tags
)
This package installs files into an aliased location and should not be
doing so.
Since Debian Trixie, the base-files package sets up symbolic links such as
/bin pointing to usr/bin. Installing files in /bin directly thus triggers
undefined behaviour in dpkg.
Packages must no longer install files into such locations and must install
them to the corresponding location under usr/ instead.
Please refer to Binaries (Section 10.1) in the Debian Policy Manual and
Bug#1074014 for details.
