Description of Problem: Because this package contains unowned directories, they will be created with the current umask. When having restrictive administrator settings (umask 077) ordinary user will not have access to them and can not use them. Another problem occurs when removing packages. Then orphaned directories are remaining. | $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive/* | file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive is not owned by any package | perl-Archive-Tar-0.22-26 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Archive-Tar-0.22-26 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. umask 077 2. make sure that perl-Archive-Tar is uninstalled completely (rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive) 3. rpm -U perl-Archive-Tar-0.22-26.noarch.rpm 4. ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive 5. start perl script Archive::Tar 6. rpm -e perl-Archive-Tar Actual Results: | drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 01:32 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive at 4; script can not find package at 5 and /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/Archive still exists after 6.
