# `package-does-not-install-examples`

The original source tarball contains the specified examples directory. However, no examples are installed in any binary packages.

Please use `dh_installexamples` to install these to the most relevant package, for example by adding the directory name followed by a wildcard to a `debian/pkgname.examples` file.

Lintian looks for any directory called `examples` under `/usr/share/doc` in all binary packages.

Severity: | `pedantic`
Experimental: | `false`

## Screens

examples/in-tests

  Some sources like python-tomlkit trigger this tag for tests because of files in ./tests/examples/. They are not examples for tomlkit, however. They are examples of TOML files used in the tests.

  Overall, the check is probably better off not looking in test directories.
