Hi,

some (or many) problems comes from 'non-standard-file-perm 0444'. In the case
for x11-apps this come from the default x11 config-files for xmkmf, like
this:

     INSTBINFLAGS = -m 0755
     INSTUIDFLAGS = -m 4711
     INSTLIBFLAGS = -m 0644
     INSTINCFLAGS = -m 0444
     INSTMANFLAGS = -m 0444
     INSTDATFLAGS = -m 0444
     INSTKMEMFLAGS = -m 4711

If we could change this (MAN, INC, DAT) to 0644, we must it not do in
the debian/rules file. But then we must recompile xbase or xlib!? Bad for
debian-2.0. Possible for 2.1??

Bye,

     Hartmut
