We're currently installing agent/snmp_perl.pl and
apps/snmp_perl_trapd.pl as executables (mode 755), although they are
not. They're used by snmpd/snmptrapd to initialize embedded Perl
support. They *can not* be used as standalone scripts.
rpmlint correctly complains about these files being installed as
executable scripts without a shebang line. This causes problems for
packagers (like darix).
The attached trivial patch makes sure these files get installed with
mode 644 instead of 755 (that's the only difference between $(INSTALL)
and $(INSTALL_DATA), see the top-level Makefile after having run
configure if you want to double-check).
I'm calling for votes to apply this to 5.4.1.
