Description Bill Nottingham 2008-03-28 17:33:07 UTC
Description of problem:

Example error:

        Error(04)     File /usr/bin/platex-jis, which is placed in PATH
directory /usr/bin, is writable NOT only by his owner! The correct permissions
should be 755.

platex-jis, in this case, is a dangling symlink to /usr/bin/ptex (which doesn't
exist).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

sectool-0.6.0-1.noarch

Hi,

thanks for the report. Yes, I didn't consider this situation. It was a trivial
fix. Again, you can find it in our git or in next release.

Also it inspired me to create a special test called "symlinks" :o) (for now it
sits in my TODO list..)
