Bug ID: 1485789 Summary: bogus permissions on /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts Product: Fedora Version: 26 Component: urw-fonts Assignee: dkaspar@redhat.com Reporter: rc040203@freenet.de QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: dkaspar@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, than@redhat.com
Description of problem:
The urw-fonts package's permission on /usr/share/doc/urw-fonts are set read-only:
$ rpm -qlv urw-fonts | 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
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): urw-fonts-2.4-23.fc26.noarch

--- Comment #1 from David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] dkaspar@redhat.com --- 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.

--- Comment #2 from Ralf Corsepius rc040203@freenet.de --- 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,

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@redhat.com --- '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: # mock -r fedora-26-x86_64 --init # mock -r fedora-26-x86_64 --install urw-fonts # ls -ld /var/lib/mock/fedora-26-x86_64/root/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts drw-r--r--. 2 root root 4096 Mar 5 14:28 /var/lib/mock/fedora-26-x86_64/root/usr/share/doc/urw-fonts

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:

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