rpmlint complained about /usr/share/doc/<package>/doc having strange permissions (set guid), but only when the package is already installed. rpm -v -qpl <package> shows the strange permissions already without the package beeing installed, so rpmlint could also check for the permissions in the rpm, without it beeing installed. I wanted to report this here, but trac complained about a missing form cookie, but it seems it never event wanted to give me a cookie. Maybe you can forward this. http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/newticket
Hmm, trac submission worked fine for me as anonymous. http://rpmlint.zarb.org/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/ticket/57 Do you have a package around which can be used to test this? I could not reproduce in some quick tests.

I think you need to register and login if you wish to use something else than anonymous. Anyway, I cannot reproduce with the test package either: $ rpm -q rpmlint rpmlint-0.79-1.fc6.noarch $ rpm -V rpmlint (no output) $ rpm -q whysynth-dssi package whysynth-dssi is not installed $ rpmlint whysynth-dssi-20060122-7.i386.rpm E: whysynth-dssi non-standard-dir-perm /usr/share/doc/whysynth-dssi-20060122/doc 02755 W: whysynth-dssi dangling-relative-symlink /usr/bin/whysynth jack-dssi-host
