I was not sure whether to file a bug report or to post issues to this list first in case there really was not a bug to report. I am running Debian Linux Sarge. The version number on Tiger from the Debian package is 3.2.1. However, when I compare the contents on downloads directly from Savannah the Debian distribution seems a lot more like 3.2.2.
The problem I had was with check_perms. It basically appeared as if it was not doing anything at all. There is a bug report that may be this issue: http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?7085 However, I am not sure how to browse anything other than the main trunk in the CVS repository so I cannot look at the proposed changes there that were mentioned in the bug report. The last change to check_perms was prior to that bug report. The issue is around line 186: [ ! $TESTLINK '$filename' ] && [ -f '$filename' -o -d '$filename' ] && The single quotes around $filename are preventing expansion so I would understand the check to be against the literal string $filename instead of the actual filename. The quick fix I made was to replace it with double quotes. It appears to be working fine now. If this should be reported separately than the bug report above, I would be happy to do that. I have some other issues or questions around check_perms and file_access_list which I will slowly get around to reporting.
