Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alien
I am using alien version 8.73 on Ubuntu Jaunty. A particular RPM I was
trying to convert had some non-root suid/sgid binaries - these
permissions were not being preserved in the alien-produced .deb package.
The alien postinst script was setting the ownership correctly, but not
the permissions. I think I found an operator precedence bug in
/usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package/Rpm.pm, line 258:
if (defined($owninfo{$file}) && ($mode & 07000 > 0)) {
This line should read as:
if (defined($owninfo{$file}) && (($mode & 07000) > 0)) {
The precedence of ">" above "&" appears to have the effect of the
owninfo hash only being updated on files with world-execute set.
Patch is attached
