Package: perlindex
Version: 1.605-1
Severity: serious
As it seems, perlindex maintains its index files under in /usr/share/man:
$ ls -l /usr/share/man/index*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1257472 Jan 25 07:54 /usr/share/man/index_fn
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5242880 Jan 25 07:54 /usr/share/man/index_idf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51593216 Jan 25 07:54 /usr/share/man/index_if
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5230592 Jan 25 07:54 /usr/share/man/index_if.new
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1290240 Jan 25 07:54 /usr/share/man/index_seen
At some point in the past it seems to have used /var/cache/perlindex, as
suggested by the debconf questions:
$ ls -l /var/cache/perlindex # note the dates
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1302528 Feb 11 2009 index_fn
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2641920 Feb 11 2009 index_idf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8372224 Feb 11 2009 index_if
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1294336 Feb 11 2009 index_seen
The breaking commit is cf94623 (from yours truly), converting debian/rules to
dh7 and omitting a critical INDEXDIR setting during $(MAKE) call. Ouch!
Setting version accordingly. Will look dfor a fix.
Fixing this bug will also fix a piuparts error :)
