Incorrect specification of ghost file mlocate.db in mlocate package
Issue
- The mlocate rpm correctly defines mlocate.db to be a ghost file. However it is incorrectly stated that this file is owned by group root and that the mode is 644. When updatedb runs it creates the files with group slocate and mode 640.
- This leads to rpm verification errors, which lead to failed compliance checks. This bug may be present in other RHEL versions as well.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
