Details

Description:
Permission in package files are wrong. As a result tuxmath can only be runned as root. Also some directories in package have the set group ID in execution (e.g. /usr/share/tuxmath/sounds/). Probably that's not necessary. Another minor problem: packager left CVS files around. Not sure if these bugs apply also to i686 version.

Additional info:
* package version: tuxmath 2001.09.07-2

Steps to reproduce:

# pacman -R tuxmath
# pacman -Sy tuxmath
$ tuxmath

Error: I couldn't load a music file:
/usr/share/tuxmath//sounds/game.mod
The Simple DirectMedia error that occured was:
Couldn't read from '/usr/share/tuxmath//sounds/game.mod'

$ ls -l /usr/share/tuxmath//sounds/game.mod
-rw------- 1 root root 143028 26 mar 2007 /usr/share/tuxmath//sounds/game.mod

there is the same problem with game2.mod and game3.mod

Run:

$ tar ztvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/tuxmath-2001.09.07-2.pkg.tar.gz | less

to see where other minor problems are.
