Use archive_entry_set_perm instead of archive_entry_set_mode
This patch fixes FS#12148 ('unstable' regular file). I also changed the other archive_entry_set_mode usage in add.c to archive_entry_set_perm. Since I cannot find any relevant info in libarchive manual, I quote Tim Kientzle (the author of libarchive) here, and I say thank you for his help. *** Tim Kientzle wrote ************************************* This is the problem in libalpm/util.c: 323 if(S_ISREG(st->st_mode)) { 324 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, 0644); 325 } else if(S_ISDIR(st->st_mode)) { 326 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, 0755); 327 } Your example unstable.db.tar.gz is not empty. It has one entry in it, called "./". That entry is marked as a directory. But, when you call archive_entry_set_mode(), you are changing the file type! archive_read_extract() then creates the file /var/unstable as you requested. (archive_read_extract() will replace an empty directory with a file.) You should either set the mode value correctly: 323 if(S_ISREG(st->st_mode)) { 324 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, IFREG | 0644); 325 } else if(S_ISDIR(st->st_mode)) { 326 archive_entry_set_mode(entry, IFDIR | 0755); 327 } Or use archive_entry_set_perm(), which does not change the file type: 323 if(S_ISREG(st->st_mode)) { 324 archive_entry_set_perm(entry, 0644); 325 } else if(S_ISDIR(st->st_mode)) { 326 archive_entry_set_perm(entry, 0755); 327 } ************************************************************ Signed-off-by: Nagy Gabor <ngaba@bibl.u-szeged.hu> Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dan@archlinux.org>
