i've just found some more - part of the extra/science/r pkg
/usr/lib/R/share/licenses /usr/lib/R/share/licenses/LGPL-2.1 /usr/lib/R/share/licenses/Artistic /usr/lib/R/share/licenses/GPL-2 /usr/lib/R/share/licenses/BSD /usr/lib/R/share/licenses/LGPL-2
should i replace them by symlinks?
Are these links required? The location of these things are just weird, there's no reason to have the datadir inside the libexecdir, there's not a single piece of common software that does this. Logical would be to have the datadir pointing to /usr/share, where the licenses would appear in /usr/share/licenses, in which case they're not needed anymore because they're already there.
Jan again wins this one. This is a really good point, I didn't even notice that these are in /usr/lib/R/ I agree here. We should switch the datadir to /usr/share and remove common licenses from the package instead of the symlink. Thanks Jan for putting us in our place 8)
