Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 15:20:46 UTC
Description of Problem:

Because this package contains unowned directories, they will be created
with the current umask. When having restrictive administrator settings
(umask 077) ordinary user will not have access to them and can not use
the package.

Another problem occurs when removing packages. Then orphaned directories
are remaining.

| $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/gimp /usr/lib/gimp/1.2
| file /usr/lib/gimp is not owned by any package
| gimp-1.2.3-5


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

gimp-1.2.3-5


How Reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. umask 077
2. make sure that gimp is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /usr/lib/gimp)
3. rpm -U gimp-1.2.3-5.i386.rpm
4. ls -l /usr/lib/gimp
5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as
   non-root user
6. rpm -e gimp-1.2.3-5

Actual Results:

* at 4:
  | drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 16:48 /usr/lib/gimp
* files can not be found/read at 5 and
* /usr/lib/gimp still exists after 6.
