azarah@nosferatu gentoo-src $ ls -l /usr/bin/gpm*     
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        31540 Jun 30 02:35 /usr/bin/gpm-root
azarah@nosferatu gentoo-src $ ls -l /usr/sbin/gpm 
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        72852 Jun 30 02:35 /usr/sbin/gpm
azarah@nosferatu gentoo-src $ ls -l /etc/init.d/gpm*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          948 Jun 30 02:35 /etc/init.d/gpm
azarah@nosferatu gentoo-src $ 

That is mine ^^ ... looks fine over here ?  You sure it was not etc-update
that maybe got run or such ?

Yes I did a etc-update after glibc upgrade. Thats when I seem to find problems.
How should I have reported this then? Should it have been "after doing etc-udate
after glibc emerge, gpm had wrong perms"? Also what caterory should it be under?
portage, applications, ....

Thanks Hiel

Hmm, I am guessing that you should add a bug with something like "etc-update
do not keep permissions of files it changes" and assign it to [e-mail].

Then describe what happens.  On another note, Ill change the Summary of this
one.

Maybe add it to programs.
