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 /var/www/cgi-bin /var/www/cgi-bin/htsearch | file /var/www/cgi-bin is not owned by any package | htdig-web-3.2.0-7.20020505 Perhaps it should require the virtual 'webserver' package.
