Description Christian Krause 2010-07-01 20:50:26 UTC

Description of problem:

- glibc-common owns the directory /usr/lib/locale which is already owned by the filesystem package (violation against the packaging guidelines for directory ownership)

rpm -qf /usr/lib/locale
filesystem-2.4.30-2.fc12.i686
glibc-common-2.11.2-1.i686

- glibc-common includes this directory with a different set of permissions than the filesystem package

glibc-common: 755
filesystem: 555

and so I have stumbled over the problem by doing:

rpm -V filesystem
.M.......    /usr/lib/locale


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-common-2.11.2-1.i686

How reproducible:
100%

Additional info:
- the following commit fixed the problem in F13 by removing /usr/lib/locale from the %files section of glibc.spec
