$ ls -l /usr/bin/*splitvt* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 41652 Dec 31 21:16 /usr/bin/splitvt -rwx--x--x 1 root root 213 Dec 31 21:16 /usr/bin/xsplitvt Reason: Inside the tar.gz, the "xsplitvt" script has these permissions, and, when installing, "mv" is used, instead of "install", and no chmod is done. Reproducible: always, on any arch.
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
