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/Date/Calc /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc/Object.pm | file /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc is not owned by any package | perl-Date-Calc-5.0-25 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): perl-Date-Calc-5.0-25 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. umask 077 2. make sure that perl-Date-Calc is uninstalled completely (rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc) 3. rpm -U perl-Date-Calc-5.0-25.* 4. ls -l /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc 5. start perl script using this module 6. rpm -e perl-Date-Calc-5.0-25 Actual Results: | drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 13:07 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc at 4; script can not find package at 5 and /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Date/Calc still exists after 6.
Spec has since been rewritten so assuming fixed. If this is not fixed in rawhide then please open a new bug.
