Package: gvrng
Version: 4.4-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
When attempting to run gvrng, it fails due to permission issues:
$ gvrng
/usr/games/gvrng: 2: exec: /usr/share/GvRng/gvrng.py: Permission denied
It looks like the underlying issue is that the Python script being
called
is not marked as executable.
debian@debian:~$ ls -la /usr/share/GvRng/gvrng.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4749 Jul 24 10:47 /usr/share/GvRng/gvrng.py
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvrng/+bug/1027869
for a corresponding bug report in Ubuntu.
