Bugzilla Bug 261813

The akonadi refuses to start.  It complains that it cannot find the file
mysql-global.conf.  So, I went searching, and found that some permissions are
incorrect...

trenta@tdamac ~ $ ls -ld /usr/share/
drwxr-xr-x 272 root root 8192 Mar  8 13:44 /usr/share/
trenta@tdamac ~ $ ls -ld /usr/share/config/

trenta@tdamac ~ $ akonadictl start
Starting Akonadi Server...       
   done.       

I think that should be enough.  But for more details, please see the forum
post...

Reproducible: Always

Oh, I did forget to mention that I get the following error before the
permission changes...

When did you last run a configuration maintenance tool such as dispatch-conf or
etc-update?

It seems that kdelibs is setting CONFIG_PROTECT on /usr/share/config, and
akonadi depends on kdelibs and is therefore merged afterwards. This could turn
out to be a bug in sys-apps/portage, but I'll leave a more thorough
investigation of the problem to the KDE team. It's probably to do with this bit
from the kdelibs ebuilds:

    # Ensure that the correct permissions are set on ${PREFIX}/share/config
    fperms 755 "${PREFIX}"/share/config

as well as:

    elog "If you experience weird application behavior (missing texts, etc.)
run as root:"
    elog "# chmod 755 -R /usr/share/config $PREFIX/share/config"

I run dispatch-conf every time I update.

Jeroen,

thanks for reassigning this bug to us.
This (the 700 /usr/share/config issue) is an old bug that seems to creep up now
and then. We haven't been able to pinpoint its source yet.

Trenton,

have you checked the permissions for /usr/share/config and
/usr/kde/4.2/share/config ?

trenta@tdamac ~ $ ls -ld /usr/share/config/
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Mar  2 23:16 /usr/share/config/

But, the other one seems fine.
trenta@reuben /data/home/trenta $ ls -ld /usr/kde/4.2/share/config
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Mar 13 09:31 /usr/kde/4.2/share/config

I noticed that you are setting the work directory to 700.  Is it possible that
there isn't an explicit reversal of that before tarring for
/usr/share/config/???

(In reply to comment #7)

This is the problem. You need to change its permissions to 755.

No, we're setting it to 755 because we 700 akonadi (and a few other apps) won't
be able to read their files and fail.

Oh, I didn't realize that you didn't read my first post. LOL.  I already
changed the permissions.

line 689 of /usr/lib64/portage/bin/ebuild.sh says...

What are the permissions currently? After you change them to 755, you should
restart your session.

${WORKDIR} is where Portage builds the app - usually
/var/tmp/portage/${CATEGORY}/${P}/work
The problem is with the insalled dirs, so we need to grep the cmake files to
check if any of the packages is installing /usr/share/config as 700.

Houston, Houston, we have a communication break down.  ;)  lol.  I changed the
permissions, and it is now working for me.  It was working for me before I
submitted the bug report. :D

I only submitted it so you guys could fix your end.

Apparently permissions are sometimes broken for /usr/share/kde4/services/kded

bug 278312 is related to this one as well - oxygen-icons has been caught (by
kde4-functions this time) on breaking permissions - don't close it as duplicate
please

The previous post (from Maciej Mrozowski  2009-08-06) refered to
oxygen-icons-4.2.96. It's still a "problem" with Version 4.3.1.
