>Description:
I installed sudo-1.6.9p10nb1 as an unprivileged user:
$ pkg_add sudo
...
sudo-1.6.9p10nb1: setting permissions on /usr/pkg/bin/sudo (o=pbulk, g=users,
m=4511)
...
There was no hint that setting the permissions (especially the ownership, since
I don't have that user on my system) failed.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Print a message like the following:
ERROR: sudo-1.6.9p10nb1: setting permissions on /usr/pkg/bin/sudo failed. Run
`/usr/pkg/var/db/pkg/sudo-1.6.9p10nb1/+PERMS' again to fix the permissions.
