[Popcon-developers] Bug#865728: popularity-contest: Should ignore /usr/lib/mime/packages

[Robert Luberda]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.65
Severity: minor

I've noticed that my /var/log/populatiry-contest contains entries like:

  1497960000 1490616000 mime-support /usr/lib/mime/packages/mime-support
  1497960000 1490616000 less /usr/lib/mime/packages/less
  1497960000 1490616000 tar /usr/lib/mime/packages/tar

The files are accessed most probably by update-mime(8) only via trigger
during packages installation, so including them in popularity-contest's
report does not make much sense.

Regards,
robert
