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 the package. Another problem occurs when removing packages. Then orphaned directories are remaining. | $ rpm -qf /usr/include/ncp/ext /usr/include/ncp/ext/socket.h | file /usr/include/ncp/ext is not owned by any package | ncpfs-2.2.0.18-11 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ncpfs-2.2.0.18-11 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. umask 077 2. make sure that ncpfs is uninstalled completely (rm -rf /usr/include/ncp/ext) 3. rpm -U ncpfs-2.2.0.18-11.i386.rpm 4. ls -l /usr/include/ncp/ext 5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as non-root user 6. rpm -e ncpfs-2.2.0.18-11 Actual Results: * at 4: | drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 17:07 /usr/include/ncp/ext * files can not be found/read at 5 and * /usr/include/ncp/ext still exists after 6.
