Description Enrico Scholz 2002-09-13 20:35:34 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 the package because orphaned
directories will remaining.


| $ rpm -qf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/libstdc++.a
| file /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2 is not owned by any package
| libstdc++-devel-3.2-1

(Please visit the given URL for a complete list of affected directories)


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

libstdc++-devel-3.2-1


How Reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
0. make a minimal installation
1. umask 077
2. make sure that libstdc++-devel is uninstalled completely
   (rm -rf /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2)
3. rpm -U libstdc++-devel-3.2-1.i386.rpm
4. ls -l /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2
5. try to use the programs/scripts/libraries/data of the package as
   non-root user
6. rpm -e libstdc++-devel-3.2-1


Actual Results:

* at 4:
  | drwx------    2 root     root         4096 Sep 13 21:55 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2
* files can not be found/read at 5 and
* /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2 still exists after 6.

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2004-10-07 13:11:21 UTC
I believe this is fixed in contemporary GCC.
