Perl seems to be Mandrakesoft's interpreter of choice for writing
it's utilities.  Why is msec written in Python?  On my server I can
only find msec and spec-helper that need Python.

msec doesn't seem so special that it needs Python in particular.  Why
not stick to the (apparent) standard and (re-)write it in Perl?

Given that, msec seems to be printing in my log over and over again:

Apr  9 22:01:28 linux msec: changed owner of /usr/src from brian to root
Apr  9 22:01:28 linux msec: changed group of /usr/src from brian to root

but the directory never changes.  Perhaps at level 2 (which my server
is at) it is only supposed to be a warning (I can't tell from the
script, I can't read Python, much less write it), but if that is the
case should it not say something like:

msec: owner of /usr/src should be changed from brian to root

More a direction to the admin that a statement of what has been done
when it hasn't actually been done.
