Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 13:44:23 UTC

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/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource/Resource.bs
| file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource is not owned by any package
| perl-BSD-Resource-1.15-4


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

perl-BSD-Resource-1.15-4


How Reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. umask 077
2. make sure that perl-BSD-Resource is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource)
3. rpm -U perl-BSD-Resource-1.15-4.*
4. ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource
5. start perl script using this module
6. rpm -e perl-BSD-Resource-1.15-4

Actual Results:

| drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 7:32 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource

at 4; script can not find package at 5 and
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD/Resource
still exists after 6.

Comment 1 Jose Pedro Oliveira 2005-05-22 22:05:12 UTC

Warren,

The FC4 specfile cleanup took care of this (Fedora Extras . 

The perl-BSD-Resource package now owns the its directories and 
the directories are created with permissions "rwxr-xr-x".


# rpm -q perl-BSD-Resource
perl-BSD-Resource-1.24-3

# rpm -qlv perl-BSD-Resource | grep ^d
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                0 Apr  3 00:37 \
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/BSD
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root                0 Apr  3 00:37 \

# rpm -qf /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/BSD

Great.  Does Bugzilla allow you to close this report?
