Package: rubygems1.8 Version: 1.3.6-2 Severity: normal Installing gems with [sudo gem install ...] and a user umask of 0077 seems to create all the files in /var/lib/gems/1.8 with that umask so that they're only readable by root, thus defeating the point of the install. A [chmod -R a+rX] resolves this as far as I know, but that's a potentially fragile solution. I think it would be preferable for 'gem' to explicitly set the umask to 022 in this context, as this would be more consistent with other extant methods of doing systemwide software installation.
