4. Bugs (Important!)

Be aware that on several versions of RPM, the tar file has been created using incorrect permissions. As soon as you install RPM, check your permissions of various directories (/bin, /usr, etc). If the permissions are of 700 (drwx------), then you have been infected by the bug.

To fix these permissions problems, run this shell script:


#!/bin/sh
 
chmod 755 /bin
chmod 755 /usr
chmod 755 /usr/bin
chmod 755 /usr/doc
chmod 755 /usr/lib
chmod 755 /usr/man
chmod 755 /usr/man/man8
chmod 755 /usr/share
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/de
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/pt-br
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/pt-br/LC_MESSAGES
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/sv
chmod 755 /usr/share/locale/sv/LC_MESSAGES
chmod 755 /usr/src
