Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 16:51:25 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 /var/www/cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/htsearch
| file /var/www/cgi-bin is not owned by any package
| htdig-web-3.2.0-7.20020505

Perhaps it should require the virtual 'webserver' package.


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

htdig-web-3.2.0-7.20020505


How Reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. umask 077
2. make sure that htdig-web is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /var/www/cgi-bin)
3. rpm -U htdig-web-3.2.0-7.20020505.i386.rpm
4. ls -l /var/www/cgi-bin
5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as
   non-root user
6. rpm -e htdig-web-3.2.0-7.20020505

Actual Results:

* at 4:
  | drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 18:44 /var/www/cgi-bin
* files can not be found/read at 5 and
* /var/www/cgi-bin still exists after 6.

Added new Requires: for the htdig-web package. Makes a lot of sense anyway.

Read ya, Phil
