HAS_PACKAGE autolearn=no version=2.60-bugs.debian.org_2005_01_02
Package: alien
Version: 8.56
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
RPM often does not specify permissions for directories which
contain files, and does not place the directories to the cpio
archives in packages.
Alien sets mode 755 for that files. It recognizes such
directories by comparing their mode with 777&(~umask).
But, some time ago, cpio changed its defaults. Now, they
created implicit directories with permissions 700. So, these
directories are not found by the alien anymore.
Neither "man cpio" nor
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7990989775/xcu/cpio.html
do not specify the mode cpio must set on these directories.
So, this bug is in the alien package, which relied on the
undocumented behavior of cpio.
I believe this bug should be fixed by changing the way alien
looks for the implicitly created directories. It should take
the list of the cpio archive contents by the "cpio -it"
command, and compare the list with the actual files and
directories created by the "cpio -id" command.
I mark the bug as grave as it breaks rpm -> deb
transformation in most cases, making the produced packages
unusable "out of the box". Since the rpm -> deb
transformation is the one most peple want from alien, I
suppose this is what is called "renders package unusable".
