Previous versions of the Debian stow package, +when installed, creates the /usr/local/stow directory as a hint to new +system administrators on where to put things. + +Alas, it appears that doing so violates FHS and Debian Policy 9.1.2 (see +bug #528023), so we are not doing that anymore. Take it upon yourself +to create /usr/local/stow yourself, and everything will be fine again. + + -- Chuan-kai Lin <cklin@debian.org>, Wed, 23 Sep 2009 15:13:10 -0700 |
