I am creating a debian package for a library and would like to install binary samples.
I was thinking to put them under /usr/share/libname, but lintian complains (arch-dependent-file-in-usr-share). According FHS this correct, but where can put those files?

It's actually not correct according to the FHS; /usr/share is quite explicitly for "architecture-independent data". /usr/lib is the arch-dependent equivalent, and that's probably what you want (/usr/lib/libname).
See http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLIBLIBRARIESFORPROGRAMMINGANDPA for details.

Damn - I ignored usr/lib, because the samples are no libs! Thanks again ;). – Dennis Guse Jul 24 '13 at 21:06
