I didn't say you did. I was replying to tomas's message. > But why is this file put in my build directory but owned by root? I don't know. This file is not installed on my system, so I couldn't compare. Does lib/src/blessmail in the build tree have the right ownership and attributes? If so, you need to look into the installation procedure and see which command there changes the owner. > It is > the only one I ever saw.

It might be a bug of some sort, but then why only this file is owned by root? AFAICT, "make install" installs it together with other files, so I don't understand ATM why only this file got its owner changed by sudo.
