From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040120 Description of problem: In the course of rebuilding the nautilus-2.6.0-4 package ("rpmbuild --rebuild nautilus-2.6.0-4.src.rpm") the timestamp on the /usr/lib directory is updated to the time that the binary packages were built. No updated files are seen in the directory, but the change of timestamp suggests that the RPM build process is writing to a directory that should not be touched. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.0-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Note time stamp ("ls -lt /usr") on /usr/lib directory. 2. Rebuild binary packages: rpmbuild --rebuild nautilus-2.6.0-4.src.rpm 3. Note that timestamp on /usr/lib directory has changed. Actual Results: Modified timestamp on /usr/lib directory. Expected Results: Packaging of binary packages should be restricted to /usr/src/redhat and to /var/tmp directories. Additional info: Writing to /usr/lib in the course of building binary packages risks modifying the existing files in that directory. Don't do that!
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing due to lack of response and Fedora Legacy issue mentioned above.
