@lahwaacz this is an upstream problem which can be fixed with a github PR. There's exactly the same issue in the EPEL package.

The package installs /usr/share/man/man1/module.1.gz which is not in the man format, but a (gzipped) plain-text file. This results in suboptimal formatting when viewed with the man utility from man-db:

mandoc can't even parse it and displays unreadable "binary data".

Btw. if bc is needed only to ensure correct permissions of files in the package, it should probably be in makedepends rather than depends.

@matse The fix works, but requires manual intervention for the directories. Just upgrading the package keeps the 0 permissions.

@lahwaacz thanks for reporting this. Missing 'bc' dependency was the cause of the problems. I added this and the problem should be fixed (hopefully) now.

lahwaacz commented on 2023-02-25 08:37 (UTC)

The last upgrade has messed up permissions of some directories:

$ ls -lah /usr/share/lmod/lmod/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  106 Feb 25 09:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root   20 Feb 25 09:14 ../
d--------- 1 root root  344 Feb 25 09:14 init/
d--------- 1 root root   84 Feb 25 09:14 lib/
d--------- 1 root root 1.7K Feb 25 09:14 libexec/
d--------- 1 root root   84 Feb 25 09:14 messageDir/
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root    8 Feb 25 09:14 modulefiles/
d--------- 1 root root  392 Feb 25 09:14 settarg/
d--------- 1 root root  196 Feb 25 09:14 shells/
d--------- 1 root root  642 Feb 25 09:14 tools/

This leads to rather verbose errors like /bin/bash: /usr/share/lmod/lmod/init/bash: Permission denied

@sogaiu: thanks for the hint! That were indeed the wrong filenames. I've updated the hint with the correct filenames.

sogaiu commented on 2021-04-12 13:22 (UTC)

The current install message has the text (in lmod.install):

----------------------------------------------------
In order tu use lmod make sure to source
/etc/profile.d/module.sh or /etc/profile.d/module.csh
----------------------------------------------------

May be it's a bit better if modules.sh and modules.csh were used in that text instead of module.sh and module.csh respectively.

matse commented on 2020-09-04 17:23 (UTC)

@berquist: Updated to newest release and done. Thanks for the hint.
