A restrictive umask still creates inaccessible unowned directories when installing packages. And these bad permissions of such directories cannot be verified/discovered with "rpm --verify" either. In other cases, unowned directories are the result of missing dependencies. And in turn, "yum install foo" installs a non-working package. Dir refcounting in RPM cannot fix that. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
