Waking up from a little siesta (yes...), that's what I thought too...
No: directories and files belong to "user user", and the PATCH did create the
files:
user@machin:/...../bin/QT/qt-x11-free-3.3.8b$ ls -l q*.*.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 2011-10-10 11:52 qglobal.h.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 221 2011-10-10 11:52 qglobal.h.rej
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 2011-10-10 11:52 qobject.cpp.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 712 2011-10-10 11:52 qobject.cpp.rej
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 2011-10-10 11:52 qobject.h.orig
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 543 2011-10-10 11:52 qobject.h.rej
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 1540 2011-10-09 22:55 qt3_3.3.8c.diff
I tryed openning the diff file with Konqueror: looks OK too!
Bizarre: I decided to try as root: I open another terminal (konsole kdesu),
cd..., patch... Of course, patch did not work, and the six files created are
owned by "root" and are -rw-r-r-. Continuing to prepare this e-mail, I
thought that I should remove these files "root" that might embarrass me later
if I forgot. But I selected the wrong console and typed the "rm" commands in
the console using user's rights... the files were deleted after confirmation
(write protected)! A feature of SELinux?
I dont know if I'll ever succeed in compile and run TDE on my machine, but the
prospect of using a system with SELinux me anxious. Even if it is possible to
disable... A deactivated bomb is still a bomb.
Good luck to everyone,
Patrick
NB: I wil put the following post, if any, in the devel list.
