Description Alessandro Barbieri 2021-03-30 12:10:46 UTC

/usr/share isn't the place for architecture dependent files like shared objects
please consider not installing it in the first place also because they are useless

/usr/share/gnuplot/5.4/demo/plugin/demo_plugin_so-demo_plugin.o

it also install this shared library

/usr/share/gnuplot/5.4/demo/plugin/demo_plugin.so

and the corresponding debug files
/usr/lib/debug/usr/share/gnuplot/5.4/demo/plugin/demo_plugin.so.debug
/usr/lib/debug/usr/share/gnuplot/5.4/demo/plugin/demo_plugin_so-demo_plugin.o.debug
