# `library-in-root-and-usr`

The package ships two files with the same name installed both in /lib*/ and /usr/lib*/ (or their subdirectories). This is not useful and is incompatible with the merged /usr directories scheme.

Shared library files, both static and dynamic, must be installed in the correct directories as documented in Policy 8.1.

Severity: | `error`
Experimental: | `false`
