Description Martin Mokrejš 2015-04-27 19:14:50 UTC

I think acroread creates this file in my $HOME directory but this time I see it in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/ . I cannot find any owning package.


-rw-r--r--  1 root root   48 Apr 10 21:01 /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt


$ cat /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/C:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt

In my $HOME there is:

-rw-------   1 mmokrejs mmokrejs      216 Apr 27 21:04 C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt

$ cat $HOME/C\:\\nppdf32Log\\debuglog.txt

It sounds like you ran a web browser as root from a weird place.

Anyway, without narrowing it down, I cannot possibly assign this to a developer.

OK, I tried as root to run seamonkey and it created in `cwd` a file named C:\nppdf32Log\debuglog.txt.

This is from seamonkey-2.33.1 when opening a PDF file, likely via www-plugins/nspluginwrapper-1.4.4-r3 or app-text/acroread-9.5.5-r2 . I think it happened with previous versions, just wanted to note them here for completeness.
