Description of problem: installed updates: emacs-muse-3.02.93-1.fc5 emacs-muse-el-3.02.93-1.fc5 With umask=027 (this is how we configured /etc/init.d/functions, which starts crond, which performed the yum update), these two directories were unreadable by the world and emacs doesn't start: $ emacs test Opening directory: permission denied, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/contrib /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/{contrib,experimental} How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e emacs-muse emacs-muse-el 2. find /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/experimental /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/contrib Note that nothing owns it rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/{contrib,experimental} file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/contrib is not owned by any package file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/experimental is not owned by any package rmdir /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/{contrib,experimental} 3. install packages with tightened umask umask 027 yum -y install emacs-muse emacs-muse-el Actual results: find /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/ -type d -ls 1253220 4 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 7 15:59 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/ 1343721 4 drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jan 7 15:59 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/experimental 1343720 4 drwxr-x--- 2 root root 4096 Jan 7 15:59 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/contrib Expected results: readable directories Additional info: Should these directories be "owned" by one of these packages and have appropriate default permissions (and get removed?). Subpackages are a pain, I know, but I'm not an expert here. :-)
Hi Chris, I've pushed packages which fixes up the ownership of the contrib and experimental directories, which I hope will fix the bug. Let me know if not.
Perfect! Thanks for the quick response! Is it an issue that rpm -e emacs-muse emacs-muse-el doesn't remove /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/muse/{contrib,experimental} directories? I didn't remove or update emacs-common-muse yet...
That shouldn't be a problem - the ownership should be fixed when the package upgrades, I believe. Has the updated package fixed the problem?
Yes, problem fixed...installing with umask 027 does not result in unreadable directories. Resolved! Thanks again!
No problem. Thanks for the report. Nice to know someone is actually using the package :) Closing bug.
