Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.15
Severity: minor

A notable example here is libreoffice that contains an empty dir and
installs a trigger for it[1].

Look for empty dirs containing "autotext".

Hi,

Something changed since this bug was filed. Today, nothing matched the
string 'autotext'. The only tag for package-contains-empty-directory
was for the package libcppunit-doc:

    usr/share/doc/libcppunit-doc/examples/msvc6/.

According to lintian.d.o, there are 2,266 similar tags [1], many of
them for modules, icons, cronjobs, backups, plugins, images, sounds
and defaults. Most are plausible names for empty directories. They do
not look like false positives.

This bug is not reproducible anymore. Closing.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
