Bugzilla Bug 140250

The dirs :
n22 ~ # find /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.3.1/ -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jun  5 19:48 /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.3.1/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun  5 19:48 /usr/share/doc/subversion-1.3.1/notes

 are not readable by a normal user. Why ?

Of course they should be readable. In my system they are. Did you perhaps set
your umask for the root user?

No, I didn't set any special umask, these are the system settings never changed
by me:

n22 /etc # grep -i umask csh.login  login.defs  profile
csh.login:## Default UMASK
csh.login:umask 022
login.defs:#    UMASK           Default "umask" value.
login.defs:UMASK                022
login.defs:# Enable setting of the umask group bits to be the same as owner
bits
profile:umask 022


but it's interesting, that the time stampds of the files are from the last
emerge, wheras the time stamps for the directories are from the emrge before:

Here are the history of the current version:
Mon Jun  5 19:25:57 2006  >>> emerge (2 of 5) dev-util/subversion-1.3.1 to /
Mon Jun  5 19:31:16 2006  >>> emerge (2 of 5) dev-util/subversion-1.3.1 to /
Mon Jun  5 19:48:58 2006  >>> unmerge success: dev-util/subversion-1.2.3-r2
Mon Jun  5 19:48:58 2006  ::: completed emerge (2 of 5)
dev-util/subversion-1.3.1 to /
Thu Jul 13 17:59:25 2006  >>> emerge (1 of 3) dev-util/subversion-1.3.1 to /
Thu Jul 13 18:15:40 2006  ::: completed emerge (1 of 3)
dev-util/subversion-1.3.1 to /

The re-merging at 13th of July was needed due to an update of the neon library.

If I have to guess at some point the directories were created with wrong access
rights. When installing, directories are not recreated to preserve files in
them. As such a merge/unmerge should not fix it for dirs (but for files it
should). If you want to check again, first unmerge completely and then remerge.

I have the same problem here, I did try to unmerge completly subversion and
re-emerge it, but it doesn't change anything:
