Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-12 23:05:14 UTC 
Description of Problem:

The /usr/libexec directory is used by a lot of packages but not owned by them:

| $ rpm -qf /usr/libexec/* |wc
|    22      50     516
| $ rpm -qf /usr/libexec
| file /usr/libexec is not owned by any package

Although this directory is not specified by the LHS, it should be owned by a
base-package like filesystem or glibc-common (please reassign if the latter
seems to be more properly).

Orphaned directories are a nuisances on package-removal and in the hands of a
paranoid sysadmin who uses 'umask 077'...


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

filesystem-2.1.6-5
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2002-11-20 21:15:47 UTC 
Will be fixed in 2.2.0-1.
