As of xenial, with version 1.3.0-1: $ dpkg -L php-mail | grep /build $
Looks like the problem has been resolved. I didn't see a specific mention of this in the changelog, but 1.2.0-3's changelog entry mentions several cleanups so may have been fixed there. ** Changed in: php-mail (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544866 Title: unwanted /build directory included in package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php-mail/+bug/544866/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
