Details

The permissions of the community repo are set wrong on a lot of files/dirs when synced, namely:

ls -lh /var/lib/pacman/community/
drwxr-xr-x 2 1004 users 4.0K 2007-03-25 13:13 abyssws-2.4-1
drwxr-xr-x 2 1004 users 4.0K 2007-03-25 13:13 acpitool-0.4.7-1
drwxr-xr-x 2 1004 users 4.0K 2007-03-25 13:13 actioncube-0.92-2

This should be root:root I think, because as soon as there is a user with uid 1004 he can edit those files, which is unwanted

(This was found using the cpn utility written by sacrine, found at http://sacrine.netric.org/cpn)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  sorry about that. 1004 is my uid on the server and I had recently done some manual db generation.

This time I rememberd to use fakeroot :)

Looks like fakeroot usage got dropped somehow.
