--- Comment #11 from Sidney Markowitz <sid...@sidney.com> --- I think I figured it out. It's the code in SATest.pm that has this comment: # If PERL5LIB is empty copy @INC instead because on some platforms like FreeBSD MakeMaker clears PER5LIB and sets @INC # Filter out relative paths, and canonicalize so no symlinks or /../ will be left in untainted result as a nod to security I bet that somehow you can access directories as relative pathnames but not when they are canonicalized absolute pathnames. I see in the error message in the first comment that you were building in /root/rpmbuild/BUILD/Mail-SpamAssassin-4.0.0 On the VM I installed Cpanel on, it ended up with /root having dr-xr-x--- permissions. How were you able to cd into the directory with those permissions? It looks like I should not make the paths canonicalized and absolute there, just leave them relative. The less change made to them the less chance of unforseen problems, anyway. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
