Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 20:35:05 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/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include/gcj
| file /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include is not owned by any package
| compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110

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

compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110


How Reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
0. make a minimal installation
1. umask 077
2. make sure that compat-libgcj-devel is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include)
3. rpm -U compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110.i386.rpm
4. ls -l /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include
5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as
   non-root user
6. rpm -e compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110


Actual Results:

* at 4:
  | drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 22:18 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include
* files can not be found/read at 5 and
* /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include still exists after 6.
Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-10-07 13:09:55 UTC 
I believe current gcc owns all necessary directories.
