Description Ludwig Nussel 2012-05-25 13:13:41 UTC

exim triggered the rpmlint check
"permissions-suseconfig-obsolete" which means the package calls
the %run_permissions macro in the %post script

The %run_permissions macro calls SuSEconfig which sets permissions
for all files in the system. Please use %set_permissions instead
to only set permissions for files contained in exim.

The %set_permissions macro is available since openSUSE 11.4, you
may have a look at the util-linux package for an example how to
use it.

Comment 1 Ludwig Nussel 2012-09-17 09:04:30 UTC

12.2 is released but the bug is not fixed. Moving to Factory product. Please take care or your package may fail to build in the future.

Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2012-12-20 16:01:57 UTC

The %run_permissions macro will be removed in January 2013, please update your package now otherwise it will fail.
