For a long time now we see lots of files installed with permission 444 and 555 in ArchLinux. We are not sure if this is caused by a bug in our chroot environment using fakeroot or due to the LibO installer. Because of the missing write permission our build tools fail to strip the symbols. So we apply this: #fix http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/17656 find ${pkgdir} -perm 444 -exec ls -lh {} \; find ${pkgdir} -perm 444 -exec chmod 644 {} \; find ${pkgdir} -perm 555 -exec ls -lh {} \; find ${pkgdir} -perm 555 -exec chmod 755 {} \; Please somebody confirm this in a different distribution.
