Bug 179853 – java-config should report permission denied when it cannot access package.env

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2007-05-26 10:15:00 UTC]

It just says:
!!! ERROR: Package jetty-5  was not found!

because /usr/share/jetty-5/ wasn't readable with userpriv

The patch to fix this bug

This patch applies to the latest release version(2.1.11)

Finally I tried to reproduce the bug on the latest vesion(https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/projects/java-config-2/tags/2.1.11/)
Though it did not give the "!!! ERROR: Package jetty-5  was not found!" Error, it thowed out a call stack which is unfriendly to users:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/java-config-2-3.1", line 395, in <module>
    (options, args) = parser.parse_args(args=args)
......
......
  File "/usr/lib64/python3.1/site-packages/java_config_2/FileParser.py", line 20, in parse
    raise PermissionError
java_config_2.Errors.PermissionError.

and after the patching,
it give the more user-friendly message:
!!! ERROR: You do not have enough permissions to read the package's package.env
