Dear Ralph and Eli,
Thank you.
As Ralph suspected, there are quite many files on my system that had wrong permissions or GID's.
Is there a way to automatically correct all the permissions and GID's?
Once more from the pacutils package, comes the "pacrepairfile" command. Given a list of files and the (separate, additive) arguments --uid --gid --mode --mtime you can reset the file to what its mtree data specified. If the file size/contents differ, you will have to do a bit of manual work yourself, or reinstall the package. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
