Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 20:34:00 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 the package because orphaned
directories will remaining.


| $ rpm -qf /usr/libexec/libgtop /usr/libexec/libgtop/first
