Public bug reported:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Release: 16.04
$ apt-cache policy s390-tools
s390-tools:
Installed: 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1
Candidate: 1.34.0-0ubuntu8.1
When benign options such as --help or --version are passed to a command that is
installed with world execute permission, the error should not complain about
write permission, as no write should be necessary.
ubuntu@s5lp1-gen01:~$ ls -l /sbin/cio_ignore
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16452 Jun 9 13:50 /sbin/cio_ignore
Such options should generate the expected output or an error should be
generated expressing the command must be run as root. The unexpected
output is shown here:
ubuntu@s5lp1-gen01:~$ /sbin/cio_ignore --help
cio_ignore: Error: missing write permission for /proc/cio_ignore
