I've been trying to install OpenOffice and GnomeICU for a while, without any success. Both programs seemed to install correctly, but when I ran them, they used different kind of spectacular crashes.
After trying everything else, I decided to go for a umask-change. When I installed, I set the umask to 077. Now, I set it back to 022, and also logged in as root instead of su'ing when installing. Everything works. My question is: How does umask and login account affect install of new programs? Should I always log in as root and temporarily set umask back to 022? What about up2date, could it be run as su with umask 077?
