Weird permissions in /etc/profile.d


I just noticed these two files aren't chown'd root:root:

Code:
ls -al /etc/profile.d/gtk+.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3356 users 32 Dec  9  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.csh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3356 users 44 Dec  9  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.sh
Can anyone else confirm that they have the same user and group?

No. Here:
Code:
bash-4.2$ ls -al /etc/profile.d/gtk+.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 32 déc.   9  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.csh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 44 déc.   9  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.sh
bash-4.2$

Yes, same here, using -current:
Code:
$ ls -al /etc/profile.d/gtk+.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3356 users 32 Dec 10  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.csh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 3356 users 44 Dec 10  2010 /etc/profile.d/gtk+.sh
Should be the issue with the packaging:
Code:
$ tar tvf gtk+2-2.24.20-x86_64-1.txz |grep -v root
-rwxr-xr-x 3356/users       44 2010-12-10 03:13 etc/profile.d/gtk+.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 3356/users       32 2010-12-10 03:12 etc/profile.d/gtk+.csh

It's safe to chown them to root:root. The error is only in the x86_64 package - the 32bit version has the correct permissions.
