Package: debhelper Version: 7.2.8 Severity: normal Hello,
According to SVG specifications[1] and freedesktop's mime database[2], the compressed .svg files should be named *.svgz (not .svg.gz) Files that are named *.svg.gz are identified as application/x-gzip instead of image/svg+xml-compressed. Therefore, those files are treated as an archive (wrong file association, wrong icon). I am opening the bug against debhelper because it will compress any svg in /usr/share/doc/*, but some .svg.gz might be provided by upstream. Note to developpers: There is no need to "dh_compress --exclude=.svg" Regards, Franklin [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/intro.html#SVGMIMEType [2] /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml: > <mime-type type="image/svg+xml-compressed"> > <comment>compressed SVG image</comment> > [..] > <acronym>SVG</acronym> > <expanded-acronym>Scalable Vector Graphics</expanded-acronym> > <sub-class-of type="application/x-gzip"/> > <glob pattern="*.svgz"/> > </mime-type> -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.19.1-1 The GNU assembler, linker and bina ii dpkg-dev 1.14.26 Debian package development tools ii file 5.03-1 Determines file type using "magic" ii html2text 1.3.2a-14 advanced HTML to text converter ii man-db 2.5.5-1 on-line manual pager ii perl 5.10.0-22 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 1.0.16 tool for managing templates file t debhelper recommends no packages.
