Description bnl 2002-02-10 04:18:15 UTC
cups-1.1.13-r2

this ebuild changes permissions of / and makes it non world/group 
readable/executable... thus rendering your system unusable for non-root 
users.
pretty simple fix... but I noticed that once my emerge completed, 
everything else on my system went awry.

chmod og+rx /
chmod o-t /

makes everything happy again.

verwilst fixed it.. doesnt look like he updated the ChangeLog though... :-(

looks like drobbins made a booboo when updating cups the other night and had 
an extra space in the pkg_postinst() somewhere.
