Well, seems like the permissions of the package are 0750 (just check by downloading the package).
So: 1. the package updates and the permissions get set to 0750 (because these are the permissions inside the rpm) 2. the scripts checks, complains that its wrong and corrects it 3. repeat Right, that's how it works, since ever. And that won't change, really.
System administrators can *choose and change* the permission strictness level of their installation, which can either be more strict or more lenient compared to the file permissions in an RPM package; in any case, there's always _some_ user where there's a mismatch (because RPMs can only store one mode).
I guess a desirable course of action would just be to remove those messages from being emitted.
Thanks Jan, Carlos and others that have explained what is going on. Since the default install uses the easy permissions, would it make sense for the RPMs to match what the easy permissions are. If the admin switches to more restrictive permissions, then they would get the messages ( which makes sense to me ). -- Regards, Joe
