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. -- Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
