Description:
I'm unable to edit my own users' fcrontab with fcrontab -e. Both installs upgraded from 3.1.1-1 and a fresh install of 3.1.2-2 do not work.


Additional info:
* package version(s) 3.1.2-2

Steps to reproduce:
fcron 3.1.1-1: fcrontab -e opens my own crontab
... upgrade fcron ...
fcron 3.1.2-2: fcrontab -e is followed by

2013-05-13 00:07:05 ERROR Could not read /etc/fcron/fcron.conf : config file ignored: Permission denied
2013-05-13 00:07:05 ERROR could not open /etc/fcron/fcron.allow: Permission denied
2013-05-13 00:07:05 ERROR fcron child aborted: this does not affect the main fcron daemon, but this may prevent a job from being run or an email from being sent.

Now I can either chmod 644 /etc/fcron/fcron.{allow,conf,deny} or remove and install fcron 3.1.2-2 again, but whichever I choose, fcrontab -e is followed by

2013-05-13 00:08:09 ERROR Could not change uid to rootuid: Operation not permitted
2013-05-13 00:08:09 ERROR fcron child aborted: this does not affect the main fcron daemon, but this may prevent a job from being run or an email from being sent.

Bad rights on /var/spool/fcron?

Should be ok in -3.

I have also updated the following:
- do /usr merge todo
- fix run-cron to be able to run script with spaces
- add vi as optdeps (as default vi editor)
- improve some PKGBUILD quoting and syntax

I've done an update from 3.1.1-1 to 3.1.2-4 and am able to edit my crontab again, thanks!
