Oh sorry about that, I should have given an example

"net-misc/dhcpcd-3.0.10" installs /usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.bz2 with
execute permissions grabted for user group and others.

I should also mention that most of these bugs are bugs that would more
apropriately be fixed upstream, allthough this particular package is
maintained by a gentoo-developer.

The rest of the bugs are of the same sort. My program uses the following
assumptions:

A file that needs to be looked at fulfills the following demands.
1. Is a gentoo installed file, in particular is found
within /var/db/pkg/*/*/CONTENTS
2. Is executable
3. Is not a link, it is assumed that a link goes to another file within
the same packet.
4. Is not a directory

Anything that fullfills those demands and is not handled within the
program is a possible bug.

I tag some of the errors as known violators, and some of the offendors
as unhandled. The known violators are definately bugs. The unhandled are
possible bugs. As of now I'm only reporting unhandled files, and that
number is 546. I would need to move more of those into handled before I
would like to post them.
