Description of problem: Package exim-clamav contains in postinstall scriptlet the following line: /bin/mkdir -p 0750 /var/run/clamd.exim This creates the directories 0750 (in /, because the working directory is /) and /var/run/clamd.exim . But I assume there is a syntax error in this command call. I assume "0750" should not be a new directory, but should be interpreted as the file mode of directory /var/run/clamd.exim. There must be a "-m " inserted before "0750". See "man mkdir": -m, --mode=MODE set file mode (as in chmod), not a=rwx - umask -p, --parents no error if existing, make parent directories as needed Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): exim-clamav-4.87-5.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a Fedora system without package exim-clamav installed. 2. ls -l / 3. dnf install -y exim-clamav 4. ls -l / Actual results: Directory /0750 exists at step 4. Expected results: Directory /0750 does not exist at step 4. Additional info: I found directory /0750 since many Fedora versions, so this error exists a long time. But I haven't previously found the package that has created this directory.
Thanks, nice catch. It seems it was my typo in 2012 :) Unbelievable that it persisted for so long :)
