Package: git-core Version: 1:1.5.0.3-1 Severity: important The build process uses
[...] # contrib install -d -m0755 '$(GIT)'-core/usr/share/doc/git-core cp -R contrib '$(GIT)'-core/usr/share/doc/git-core/ install git-p4import.py '$(GIT)'-core/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib/ find '$(GIT)'-core/usr/share/doc/git-core/contrib -type f | \ xargs chmod 0644 to copy contrib. But this doesn't work if one has a rather restrictive umask setting like e.g 077. If thats the case, contrib is missing the execute/read bit for 'others'. I'm not sure if it is allowed to run the package build with such a restrictive umask. But if it is, then there are probally more directories besides contrib which are missing the r/x bit.
