Arch Linux

Description:

brltty 6.2-2 now packages a polkit rule in /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/org.a11y.brlapi.rules so it also packages the parent folder /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/.

In the package however, this folder is owned by the group 'root' instead of 'polkitd' like in other packages such as gvfs, polkit or systemd. (As far as I know, this is harmless, but it causes a warning to appear when checking permissions with 'pacman -Qkk'.)

Looking at the package definition, I see gvfs sets the folder GID to 102=polkitd when creating it, while brltty appears to leave it at the default which is root:
