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 the package because orphaned directories will remaining. | $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include/gcj | file /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include is not owned by any package | compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110 (Please visit the given URL for a complete list of affected directories) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 0. make a minimal installation 1. umask 077 2. make sure that compat-libgcj-devel is uninstalled completely (rm -rf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include) 3. rpm -U compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110.i386.rpm 4. ls -l /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include 5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as non-root user 6. rpm -e compat-libgcj-devel-7.3-2.96.110 Actual Results: * at 4: | drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 13 22:18 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include * files can not be found/read at 5 and * /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux7/2.96/include still exists after 6.
I believe current gcc owns all necessary directories.
