Package: json-c Version: 0.10-1.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Usertags: origin-ubuntu raring ubuntu-patch
Hi Fabien, As you may be aware, upstart now uses json-c for serializing its state on re-exec. This means that on at least some systems, /sbin/init has a dependency on libjson.so.0; so per the FHS, libjson ought to be in /lib rather than in /usr/lib. I believe that in the not-too-distant future, we will wish to follow Fedora's lead and drop the separation between / and /usr in Debian and Ubuntu. But for right now, this isn't possible without breaking users' systems; so I've pushed the attached patch to the json-c package in Ubuntu. I would appreciate it if you could apply the same patch in Debian, so users with /usr on a separate partition will also be able to use upstart. Thanks for considering the patch. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
