Hi. I was not careful enough and installed some packages as ordinary user instead as root. Would be nice when there where warnings, e.g. when it is not possible to set perms/uids/gids during installation.
I checked the permissions using "rpm -V `rpm -qa`". Then i tried to correct them using "su;rpm --setugids `rpm -qa`;rpm --setperms `rpm -qa`". Is there a better/faster way ? There is a Solaris bug in/affecting "rpm --setugids/--setperms". This functionality is implemented by aliases in $opkg_root/lib/openpkg/rpmpopt-4.0.2. A shell script is generated and executed using "sh". It just burps "sh: test : argument expected" and does nothing else. Using "truss" i found the following: The shell script consists of commands like "[ -L /file ] && chmod 775 /file". This commands fail, because the "-L" was amputated from the Solaris sh some time ago (never understood, why). Instead, one has to use "-h" - or another shell, e.g. bash. I don't know, why sh is used to execute the commands. When possible, it should be changed to bash. Else, the definitions for --setugids and --setperms in $opkg_root/lib/openpkg/rpmpopt-4.0.2 should be changed, so that they use "-h" instead of "-L".
