Hi,<br><br>I've installed two packages from slackbuilds and experienced the same problem both times . <br><br>The most recent install was ppracer. After both installations, I noticed my user account didn't have permissions to do some of the simplest tasks,
e.g., `ls'.<br><br>It was because Permissions on the following directories got changed to 750 root:root :<br>/ /usr /usr/bin /usr/doc /usr/share<br><br>In the SlackBuild file there is:<br><br><code><br>chown -R root:root .
<br>chmod -R a-s,u+w,go-w+r .<br></code><br><br>which is taking place in /tmp/SBo... ok no problem there ...<br> ... and in fact after the build these dirs (/ /usr...) permissions were ok. (At first I thought chown / chmod -R were recursing upwards,
i.e. hitting "..": I always set GLOBIGNORE='.:..' in my profile to keep myself from doing this with chown -R *)<br><br>... It was in fact after installpkg that these (/ /usr ...) above got changed.<br><br>
Is it absolutely necessary to set ownership/permissions that way in the build? Or do I have something configured wrong that makes the installpkg behave strange? I.e. overwriting the permissions when it copies directories (i've used installpkg / pkgtool a number of times with .tgz files without this happening)
<br><br>TIA<br><br>JOhnI<br>
