Comment 2 Alan Pevec 2013-02-12 18:56:20 UTC

Strange, that one was supposed to be fixed ages ago in bug 495096 and in spec I see:

%attr(0750, puppet, puppet) %{_localstatedir}/log/puppet

Comment 3 Todd Zullinger 2013-02-13 04:04:54 UTC

AFAICT, this is due to a behavior change in rpm.  If it's going to cause security bugs, perhaps that's something that can be verified and fixed in rpm (unless I'm just wrong).  See discussion in bug #857930 for details.

Comment 4 Todd Zullinger 2013-03-18 14:24:09 UTC

A new build for epel confirms that this was a bug in either rpm or the buildsystem.  The permissions on /var/log/puppet are now correct again, with no changes in the spec file.

The fixed builds for epel are 2.6.18-1.el5 and 2.6.18-1.el6:
