Let me guess; you ran alien on the RPM in /tmp and alien evily changed
the permission of /tmp?

That's bitten me and I alway now run alien in a sub-directory of /tmp.
I didn't know I was running "alien"! What's that? But, yes I did untar into tmp, but I cd'd into a subdir called RPMS before executing "rpm -i ...". I expected there to be a subdirectory with the tar contents in it, but there was none. I'll check from now on, though. Man, I'm glad I got that fixed so easily, though! I was worried for a while, being a relative novice.
