Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 487105
launchpad scripts have insufficient permissions
Last modified: 2009-10-12 09:17:05 EDT
Description of problem: /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh is missing 'executable' permission bits so it can't be executed directly. However, running it as a parameter of 'sh' doesn't help, either: $ sh /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh: line 136: /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad/SetArchitecture.sh: Permission denied /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh: line 169: /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad/jclp.sh: Permission denied /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh: line 169: /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad/SeaMonkey.sh: Permission denied /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad.sh: line 169: exec: /usr/share/doc/java-1.6.0-ibm-devel-1.6.0.3/launchpad/SeaMonkey.sh: cannot execute: Permission denied and nothing happens, the script exits. When 'x' is added to all .sh files in the launchpad directory, it's much better. A special seamonkey profile is created and a seamonkey window is launched with the desired IBM SDK documentation. Please make lanchpad.sh and all lanuchpad/*.sh files executable for all.
hmm seems like this is a common problem. would you like a respin or to wait for the next update?
Next update is fine. In fact, if the permissions could be fixed in the tarball, we wouldn't have to do any hacking in .spec. Can you bring this to IBM's attention?
yes, i will direct them to this bz. Also, note that gtkhelper has the same permission issues: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10934 Nov 28 23:38 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.9.x86_64/jre/lib/gtkhelper
Actually, I was wrong, the permissions are correct in the tarballs. Sorry. Looks like this line in the .spec file is too greedy (and likely not needed at all): find docs -type f | xargs chmod 644 As for /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-ibm-1.5.0.9.x86_64/jre/lib/gtkhelper, that's the 1.5.0 java, while launchpad (this bug report) is 1.6.0-only. BTW, it has 644 in the tarball. But then again, it's probably okay.
These files should be removed because they are arch dependent. marking as a duplicate *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 487107 ***
I don't think these files are arch dependent. They're just shell scripts. Please investigate.
Reopening since the .sh files (scripts) are supposed to be executable. See comment 4 for an explanation why they aren't.
