Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 15:44:56 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
the package.

Another problem occurs when removing packages. Then orphaned directories
are remaining.

| $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL/SSL.so
| file /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL is not owned by any package
| pyOpenSSL-0.5pre-1


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

pyOpenSSL-0.5pre-1


How Reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. umask 077
2. make sure that pyOpenSSL is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL)
3. rpm -U pyOpenSSL-0.5pre-1.i386.rpm
4. ls -l /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL
5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as
   non-root user
6. rpm -e pyOpenSSL-0.5pre-1

Actual Results:

* at 4:
  | drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 17:17 /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL
* files can not be found/read at 5 and
* /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/OpenSSL still exists after 6.

Comment 2 Mihai Ibanescu 2002-12-03 17:03:36 UTC 
Added the directory. Not really nice, oh well. Should be in Rawhide.
Comment 3 Enrico Scholz 2003-02-25 13:39:13 UTC 
The following problematic directories are still alive:

  * pyOpenSSL-0.5.1-5

      + /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages
        [owned by ethereal-0.9.8-5, parted-1.6.3-11, python-2.2.2-22]
      + /usr/lib/python2.2
        [owned by python-2.2.2-22]


Perhaps an explicit 'Requires: python' should be added.
Comment 4 Mihai Ibanescu 2003-03-03 17:29:22 UTC 
Requires: python would be good indeed.
Comment 5 Mihai Ibanescu 2003-09-16 19:48:46 UTC 
Fixed in CVS, and versions 0.5.1-9 and later.
Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2006-08-04 20:37:27 UTC 
Red Hat Linux and Red Hat Powertools are currently no longer supported by Red
Hat, Inc. In an effort to clean up bugzilla, we are closing all bugs in MODIFIED
state for these products.

However, we do want to make sure that nothing important slips through the
cracks. If, in fact, these issues are not resolved in a current Fedora Core
Release (such as Fedora Core 5), please open a new issues stating so. Thanks.
