I've found what causes the problem. /usr/bin/bundle doesn't set the umask, and instead uses the umask set by the user who calls it.
In my case, my umask is 027. Therefore, all files created by bundle (through sudo) in /var/lib/gems become unreadable for users other than root, and therefore bundle will work for root only, unless a chmod -R a+rX /var/lib/gems is performed. Problem doesn't occur if I use a umask of 022 . So bundle needs to set it's umask properly, i.e. something like 022. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324685 Title: gem file access problem To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby1.9.1/+bug/1324685/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
