Bug 657630 – kde-apps/k3b-17.12.3 does not find binaries installed by app-cdr/cdrtools with mode 711

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Wernig 2018-06-08 21:58:57 UTC]

app-cdr/cdrtools installs some binaries in /usr/bin with file permissions 711, among which cdrecord and cdda2wav, using filecaps instead of suid permissions.

kde-apps/k3b seems to search for cdrecord, but not find it because of this. When starting it (or running the embedded system check), it issues the error that cdrecord cannot be found and that cdrtools should be installed.

Changing permissions to 755 on /usr/bin/cdrecord solves this problem.

precise ~ # ls -l /usr/bin/cdrecord
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 392424 Jun  3 20:01 /usr/bin/cdrecord
precise ~ # lsattr /usr/bin/cdrecord
--------------e--- /usr/bin/cdrecord


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge k3b
2. start k3b


Expected Results:  
k3b should find cdrecord

Which version of kde-apps/k3b?
My /usr/bin/cdrecord has 711 permissions, and k3b prints no error message.

This is kde-apps/k3b-17.12.3 and app-cdr/cdrtools-3.02_alpha09

I've never been able to reproduce this, please re-open if the same happens with 18.08.2.
