RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2010-09-17 12:04:46 UTC 
Most/all of these are bogus as far as I can tell.

(This package did go through Package Wrangler, you know...)
Comment 2 Alexander Todorov 2010-09-17 12:17:21 UTC 
I don't agree. 

For example: 
/usr/share/cups/www/help/man-cupstestppd.html

This is documentation file not config file. Should be marked appropriately. 

How about non standard permissions? Why use 555 instead of 755?
Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2010-09-17 13:06:21 UTC 
(In reply to comment #2)
> /usr/share/cups/www/help/man-cupstestppd.html

> This is documentation file not config file. Should be marked appropriately. 

This was intentionally changed to fix bug #441719 but perhaps more are marked than are necessary.

> How about non standard permissions? Why use 555 instead of 755?

CUPS uses the permissions bits to know whether it needs to drop privileges when running filters and backends.  Perhaps the 0200 bit ought to be set.

But things like this:

cups.x86_64: W: devel-file-in-non-devel-package /usr/share/cups/ppdc/epson.h
A development file (usually source code) is located in a non-devel package. If
you want to include source code in your package, be sure to create a
development package.

are incorrect.  It is not a development file.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2010-12-03 17:25:41 UTC 
I've analysed the rpmlint messages for *.x86_64.rpm and split them into false-positives and things to fix.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2010-12-03 17:26:10 UTC 
Created attachment 464617 [details]

Comment 9 Tim Waugh 2010-12-06 11:52:20 UTC 
Also:

cups.x86_64: E: non-readable /usr/sbin/cupsd 0500L

==> FIX

This is now being tracked in Fedora as bug #546004.
