Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] rpm: fix /var/lib/libvirt permissions

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=649511 Regression of forcing 0700 permissions (which breaks guest startup because the qemu user can't see /var/lib/libvirt/*.monitor) was introduced in commit 66823690e, as part of libvirt 0.8.2. * libvirt.spec.in (%{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt): Guarantee 755 permissions. --- Stumbled on this one today when upgrading from F13 to F14, and my VMs no longer started. Turns out that the upgrade process reinitializes permissions according to the spec file, and the spec file has been wrong for a couple of releases now. libvirt.spec.in | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libvirt.spec.in b/libvirt.spec.in index 869b5cc..827b8c5 100644 --- a/libvirt.spec.in +++ b/libvirt.spec.in @@ -801,7 +801,7 @@ fi %dir %{_localstatedir}/run/libvirt/ -%dir %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/ +%dir %attr(0755, root, root) %{_localstatedir}/lib/libvirt/
