Product: akpi
Component: packaging
Summary: some permission problems when umask not equal to 077
Version: 0.3.3-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bill Unruh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sent me a bug report about not being able to
use akpi after installing it.
It seems that it comes from a permission problem, since rpm use the umask of
the root, and, when installing akpi, it fixes the permissions of
/usr/share/akpi/ using this umask.
So, if someone install it with a more restrictive umask ( let's say, umask 077
), akpi can't access to the directory ( since , the permission of the rep is
drwx------ ) and so, can't start.
The umask is fixed in ~root/.bashrc, and so is overridden when launching rpm.
I think that something is wrong with the %files or the %defattr macros.
A possible fix given by Bill is to change
%{_datadir}/apps/%{name}/*
with the line
%{_datadir}/apps/%{name}
and maybe changing the %defattr macros to
%defattr(0555,root,root)
I could not try the fix, but Bill say it worked
