Dear Eli,
Thank you!
Is there a way to ask paccheck to list only files that need to be fixed?
For example, if I run
sudo paccheck --file-properties --quiet
I get list of files with package information and error information, such as
screen: '/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/screen.conf' permission mismatch
(expected 644)
Or maybe I need to write a regular expression to extract file name and
path from such an output myself?
Yours sincerely,
Xianwen

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.
