185697 - Installer makes ./components directory without +x privileges

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 163524

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Chris Faherty]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Since a build sometimes around 1.1, whenever I install Mozilla on my Linux
machine, the installer will fail.  I tracked this down to the components
directory being set thusly:

drw-rwSr--    2 chrisf   chrisf         35 Dec 16 18:00 components

I should note that I install Mozilla under my home directory while logged in as
a normal user (chrisf).  I am unable to change to the components directory as is
because it doesn't have +x.  If I then chmod u+x components, and begin the
install again, everything is successful.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla as a regular user, under your home directory.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Installation fails with around 10 popups complaining about errors.

Expected Results:  
It should have installed with ./components directory having +x privilege so that
it can be accessed.
