#93: Incorrect permissions on library install ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: reopened Priority: normal | Milestone: Cabal-1.8 Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.12.1 | Platform: Linux ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Changes (by guest): * ghcversion: 6.10.1 => 6.12.1 * version: 1.1.4 => 1.8.0.6 Comment: It hasn't been mentioned that this actually causes a system-level problem on GNU/Linux which potentially makes it more severe: it makes the mandb cron task at least complain and, I think, actually fail after getting {{{ /usr/bin/mandb: can't open /usr/local/share/man/man1/markdown2pdf.1: Permission denied }}} following a `cabal install --global pandoc', although the binary is installed appropriately. This is with {{{ cabal-install version 0.8.2 using version 1.8.0.6 of the Cabal library }}} -- d.love(haskell) @ liv.ac.uk -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/93#comment:10 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
