[Issue 128413] New: .desktop files installed by .deb archive in
/opt/openoffice4/share/xdg are not executables
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=128413
Issue ID: 128413
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: .desktop files installed by .deb archive in
/opt/openoffice4/share/xdg are not executables
Product: Installation
Version: 4.2.0-dev
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux 64-bit
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: Normal
Priority: P5 (lowest)
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: ardovm@yahoo.it
Target Milestone: ---
This report is about version 4.1.8 but I could not select it.
Files installed by .deb archive for x86_64 architecture are not "executable" by
KDE because:
1- they are not owned by root (but rather UID 500 and GID 500),
2- they do not have the executable bit set.
This is happening on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS x86_64.
When clicking on any of the OpenOffice entries in the Applications -> Office
KDE menu, a warning appears: "This will start the program: openoffice4 %U. If
you do not trust this program, click Cancel".
When confirming, another error message appears:
"Unable to make the service OpenOffice 4.1.8 executable, aborting execution"
Two quick fixes are possible:
- make all .desktop files in /opt/openoffice4/share/xdg executable, or
- make all .desltop files in /opt/openoffice4/share/xdg owned by root.

By the way, the DEB's for OpenOffice 4.1.7 installed all files as owned by
root:root. And it worked perfectly.

I checked a bit closer. And I can see with an ll :
~/Downloads/de/DEBS/temp/usr/bin$ ll /opt/openoffice4
insgesamt 72
drwxr-xr-x 7 500 500 4096 Nov 11 23:12 ./

drwxr-xr-x 22 500 500 4096 Nov 11 23:12 share/
which is strange. However I have no usage issue.
workaround:
sudo chown -R root /opt/openoffice4
sudo chgrp -R root /opt/openoffice4
However setting this issue to confirmed.

Hello Peter,
I used "dpkg -i" instead of "apt install". However I tried your exact command
and I got the same problem.
All the files in /opt/openoffice4 seem to be owned by user 500, group 500. I
wonder if this is intentional?

--- Comment #5 from Arrigo Marchiori <ar...@yahoo.it> ---
The fact that installed files are not owned by root is IMHO a bug.
According to (quite old) customs, UID 500 may be the first non-root user:
https://serverfault.com/questions/362943/who-is-user-500
and this is a security issue because the program is installed at system level.

--- Comment #6 from Arrigo Marchiori <ar...@yahoo.it> ---
I tried a very simple test case with the epm program on my openSUSE system.
Not being Debian-based, I had to install by hand the dpkg program.
When I tried to make a deb package I was given the following warning:
epm: Warning - file permissions and ownership may not be correct
in Debian packages unless you run EPM as root or the 'fakeroot'
command is available!
The generated deb file contained in fact wrong permissions, same as the
OpenOffice 4.1.8 release archives.
After installing the fakeroot package, the warning message disappeared and the
generated deb file was good.
Is it possible, then, that the OpenOffice build system does not have the
'fakeroot' program installed?
Please note I have used epm 5.0.0 for the above test. I cannot find the link to
download the previous version.
