Description Joe Harrington 1998-12-19 00:30:48 UTC

This report has to do with libungif and libungif-devel,
which are not listed as components on the bug entry page.

rpm -v flags mode discrepancies on many symlinks.  They are
mode 755 or 644 in the package but get installed mode 777
(and it is impossible to change them to any other mode with
chmod).
