https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246813 Summary: gdm permission packaging problems Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de The gdm package installs 2 directories with special ownership (i.e., not root:root): drwxr-x--- 2 gdm gdm 0 Feb 12 22:55 /var/lib/gdm drwxr-x--- 2 gdm gdm 0 Feb 12 22:55 /var/log/gdm This does not look correct to me for 2 reasons: 1) The Makefile.am does something different: chown root:root $(DESTDIR)$(logdir) || : ; \ chown root:gdm $(DESTDIR)$(authdir) || : ; \ 2) At runtime, gdm changes the ownership of /var/lib/gdm (=authdir) to root:gdm. This causes "rpm -V gdm" to complain about /var/lib/gdm ownership if gdm has been used: # rpm -V gdm M...U.. /var/lib/gdm This should be cleaned up, the packaging should match Makefile.am and runtime behaviour. The Makefile.am behaviour is: 0755 root:root /var/log/gdm 1770 root:gdm /var/lib/gdm -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
