Don't know what to do here. It's not an issue with cups! The "Repair Installed System" should be able to allow such changes in the system, or repair this. At least I'm unable to change the situation.

If a file is likely to change, the packager should indicate this by using an appropriate %noverify entry in the spec file. /cups/drivers is group writable directory (0775), so it might be important to see which group now has write permissions. We IMO should not change the tool to not report those changes. AJ? --- - It may be an enhancement to display details e.g. like /usr/share/cups/drivers ......G. : drwxrwxr-x root ntadmin actual : drwxrwxr-x root soemthingelse - To allow the user to ignore certain 'errors'. - And to detect whether such a change was caused by e.g. /etc/permissions. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The "ntadmin" group ownership is done with intention as samba can easily deploy its drivers there. Changing it to any different group can make the use of samba very hard. I think that's the primary job of the system repair function: fixing such changes in the system. It's only worth a discussion, whether this change should be done after asking back the user or not. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm also confused since rpm does not report problems...
That's the important piece! Now reading "rpm --verify shows no error msg" and looking again at the "Show Log" output, I suspect the (U)ser and (G)roup mismatches in the repair-system are due to incomplete /etc/passwd and /etc/group. If the repair-systems /etc/group e.g. does not contain ntadmin, rpm will use 'root' for it. Thus verification fails: # grep ntadmin /etc/group # rpm -V cups S.5....T c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf .....G. /usr/share/cups/drivers In the running system, ntadmin is known, thus verification succeeds: # grep ntadmin /etc/group ntadmin:!:71: # rpm -V cups S.5....T c /etc/cups/cupsd.conf -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
