--- Comment #1 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] <dkaspar(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Hello Ralph,

could you please elaborate on this? Because I don't see a reason why any files
in /usr/share/doc/<package_name>/* should have other than read-only
permissions.

These permissions are by default set with %doc macro in RPM specfile. If you
look at other files located /usr/share/doc, they have all the same permissions
(0644) AFAICT.

And please, don't forget that /usr folder can be mounted via network, where it
can be completely set as read-only and the Fedora should still work in that
case.

Unless you provide me with proper and valid usecase, why the files should have
other than read-only permissions (for example some Fedora Wide Change tracking
wiki), then I will close this BZ sooner or later.

I realize, my initial posting wasn't well put and misleading.

My point is: /usr/share/doc/<packagename> directories
(here: /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts) need to carry worldwide excutable permissions.

ATM, you have:
# rpm -qlvp urw-fonts-2.4-23.fc26.noarch.rpm  | grep doc
drw-r--r--    2 root    root                        0 Feb 12  2017
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root                    17992 Apr 23  2001
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/COPYING
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root                     2245 Jan 18  2002
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root                     1317 Jul 12  2002
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README.tweaks

A far as I can tell, the origin of this issue is rpm's behavior on %docdir
having changed some rpm rsp. Fedora releases ago.

In your case the origin seem to be %defattr(0644,root,root,0755) in
urw-fonts.spec

Ah, OK, thanks for the update. :) When I try it myself, I indeed see what you
have posted:

Normandy-SR4[dkaspar] ~/Downloads $ rpm -qlvp urw-fonts-2.4-23.fc26.noarch.rpm
| grep doc
drw-r--r--    2 root    root      0 Feb 12  2017 /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root  17992 Apr 23  2001
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/COPYING
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root   2245 Jan 18  2002
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root   1317 Jul 12  2002
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README.tweaks

However, after the installation, everything seems to be as it should:

Normandy-SR4[dkaspar] /usr/share/doc $ rpm -q urw-fonts 
urw-fonts-2.4-22.fc24.noarch
Normandy-SR4[dkaspar] /usr/share/doc $ rpm -qlv urw-fonts-2.4-22.fc24.noarch |
grep doc
drwxr-xr-x    2 root    root     0 Feb  5  2016 /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root 17992 Apr 23  2001
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/COPYING
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root  2245 Jan 18  2002 /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README
-rw-r--r--    1 root    root  1317 Jul 12  2002
/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/README.tweaks
Normandy-SR4[dkaspar] /usr/share/doc $ ll -d urw-fonts
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root      root    52 Jun 14  2016 urw-fonts/

---------------------

Anyway, the urw-fonts will be soon obsoleted (approximately in September, it
depends on the new release of ghostscript-9.22) by a new font-package:
>  urw-base35-fonts (BZ #1458840)
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/urw-base35-fonts

In case it does not cause any significant problems for you, I will close this,
and we will wait for the release of new package, which should have the correct
permissions set. :) (It actually does not uses the /usr/share/doc anymore, only
/usr/share/licenses, for which it uses %license macro, without the deprecated
%defattr() macro.)

Best regards,

REOPENING.

Well, I do not agree with you. Fedora 26 is not EOL for at least 3 months and
you refuse to fix an apparent bug in a deployed product?

What am I supposed to think of this?

Well, there is an error in specfile. But I still do not see what this actually
breaks... Can you provide some usecase where it causes a problem?

Because what I can see after installation is that the /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts
have the 0755 permissions as it should:

Normandy-SR4[dkaspar] ~ $ ll -d /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts
drwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 52 Jun 14  2016 /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts/

It has been like this for a very long time (~years) now in Fedora, and as I
said -  the package will be soon obsoleted by a new package (approximately a
month). Unless you provide me with a use-case where it *actually* breaks
anything, I don't see a reason why this couldn't wait ~month, since it didn't
bother anyone before for such a long time... :)

--- Comment #7 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] <dkaspar(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
'urw-fonts' package is now retired for master, f28, and f27. It has been
replaced with 'urw-base35-fonts'.

'urw-fonts' will be kept in in f26 branch until EOL of Fedora 26.

Since F26 will be EOL in August (approximately) - and no proper reproducer has
been provided - I'm closing this BZ as WONTFIX.

Still half a
year to go. If you consider this to be an appropriate response to
a BZ, I do not agree with you.

Sigh - Here we go:

And again - what does it *actually* break? For example are koji builds broken
because of this? Or do users of Fedora 26 experience some difficulties?

I'm not going to play CLOSING/REOPENING ping pong with you here, especially
with your attitude:

So here, enjoy: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=25503107

------------------

There are problems with higher importance that needs my attention. Problems
that actually affect users of Fedora, which need fixing...

Have a nice day!
