Description of problem: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/index.theme and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache are installed with umask that the root user had at the time the rpm was installed. This is incorrect, the permissions should not be dependent on the umask. To see this do (tcsh syntax): $ umask 077 $ rm /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache $ rpm -iF hicolor-icon-theme-0.10-2.noarch.rpm $ ls -l /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache -rw------- 1 root root 2132396 Mar 7 10:09 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache The permissions should actually be -rw-r--r-- Because of not being able to access these caches all Gtk+ applications will need to do a lot more stat syscalls at startup in order to find the icons they need... There are probably other packages that have this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hicolor-icon-theme-0.10-2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
wrong component
Fixed in rpm 4.4.2.3 already, just not F8 yet
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
As this bug is in MODIFIED, Fedora believes that a fix has been committed that resolves the problem listed in this bug report. If this is not the case, please re-open this report, noting the version of the package that you reproduced the bug against. Thanks for the report!
