Although I am reporting this after updating to 20230809, these wrong permissions messages have occurred for a long time ( years )
For TW 20230809 the message was
/usr/bin/fusermount3: setting to root:trusted 4755 (wrong permissions 4750)
I cannot remember doing a TW update where I didn't receive a message about wrong permissions similar to that one.
The issue is that these messages are wrong.
I have confirmed this multiple times.
When I update my test system and see these kinds of messages, I check the permissions on my main desktop system to see if they are wrong there ( they aren't )
Then when I update the main desktop system, I get the same messages for the files that I already confirmed were not wrong before doing the update.
Here were the permissions on the main desktop system BEFORE updating to TW 20230809 which show that it was root:trusted 4755
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root trusted 35K Jul 17 13:34 /usr/bin/fusermount3
It seems that whatever does the permission check is what is broken but I am unsure what that is.
Is this a known bug/problem? If not, any idea what I need to report the bug against ?
Guess: The package comes with a set of permissions. At some point, "chkstat --system" runs. This was a script that was, in old times, part of SuSEconfig. This script checks permissions against a list, in /etc/permissions.easy and /etc/permissions.local by default. If the permissions in the just installed package do not match those in the list, they are changed, and it prints that message, "wrong permissions". As it fixes them, you do not see any problem when you check them. cer@Telcontar:~> grep /usr/bin/fusermoun /etc/permissions.easy /usr/bin/fusermount root:trusted 4755 /usr/bin/fusermount3 root:trusted 04755 cer@Telcontar:~> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
