Shore term
sudo find /usr/local/share/scid -type d -exec chmod 555 {} \;
sudo find /usr/local/share/scid -type f -exec chmod 444 {} \;
The first gives all users the ability to search directories
/usr/local/share/scid and below
The second gives all users the ability to read all files in
/usr/local/share/scid and below. If there are executable files there
they will need 555 in place of 444, but I'd argue the package is broken
if so.
Long term someone needs to look at the install routine.
