Description Carl George 🤠 2020-10-13 14:56:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
The mock package installs the file /usr/share/cheat/mock, but does not own the /usr/share/cheat directory, or require any package that owns it.  This is not allowed by the package guidelines.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mock-2.6-1.fc31
mock-2.6-1.fc32
mock-2.6-1.fc33
mock-2.6-1.fc34

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install mock
2. rpm -qf /usr/share/cheat

Actual results:
file /usr/share/cheat is not owned by any package

Expected results:
The simplest solution would be for mock to own that directory.  Alternatively, the cheat file could be split into it's own optional subpackage that requires the cheat package.  Another possibility would be for that directory to be owned by the filesystem package, similar to /usr/share/man.

Comment 1 Pavel Raiskup 2020-10-13 15:20:25 UTC 
Thank you for the report, upstream PR:
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/pull/643
Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2020-10-14 10:23:19 UTC 
Note that owning the directory is complicated. Mock situation is described in :
  https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_the_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

Also note that not everyone follows it. See /etc/logrotate.d/ and /etc/bash_completion.d/

In *my* opinion it is better to not owning the directory, because if `cheat` decide to change attributes of this directory, then we all have to synchronize.

But yeah, guidelines say MUST. So we change it.
