Description:   Opened: 2007-08-30 17:18 0000 
it is a FHS violation for non-portable binary files to be stored in /usr/share/

app-text/gnome-doc-utils sticks .pyc/.pyo files in there which causes problems
obviously when upgrading python versions

$ qfile /usr/share/xml2po/ -v
app-text/gnome-doc-utils-0.10.3 (/usr/share/xml2po)
$ ls /usr/share/xml2po/*.pyc
/usr/share/xml2po/docbook.pyc  /usr/share/xml2po/empty.pyc 
/usr/share/xml2po/gs.pyc  /usr/share/xml2po/ubuntu.pyc 
/usr/share/xml2po/xhtml.pyc

This also causes gnome-desktop to have access violations (sandbox) on FreeBSD
if python is upgraded since last installing this package.

------- Comment #2 From SpanKY 2007-10-01 07:41:11 0000 ------- 
not a BSD-specific problem ... it's hit plenty of people on Linux as well

------- Comment #3 From Arun Raghavan 2008-04-14 20:09:01 0000 ------- 
Created an attachment (id=149744) [edit]
patch to install xml2po modes to /usr/lib/python-x.y/site-packages

This patch should fix the problem. Also filed upstream at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528099

------- Comment #4 From Rémi Cardona 2008-05-28 06:57:33 0000 ------- 
So this is safe to go in? Upstream has yet to comment on it but Gilles pinged
them a week ago...

Thanks
