Description Sanni Täter 2005-03-03 15:21:50 UTC 
Openmotif not FHS compliant

Installs binary programs into /usr/share/openmotif-2.2.

FHS says,

       The /usr/share hierarchy is for all read-only architecture independent
       data files.
          
       This hierarchy is intended to be shareable among all architecture
       platforms of a given OS; thus, for example, a site with i386, Alpha, and
       PPC platforms might maintain a single /usr/share directory that is
       centrally-mounted.

Binary (architecture *dependent*) programs in /usr/share will make that 
impossible and are clearly in violation with FHS section 4.11.
