[SOLVED] Warning when updating dhcpcd

Hi all,
I got this warning when y was updating dhcpcd:

(1/7) upgrading dhcpcd                                                    [##########################################] 100%
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/dhcpcd/
filesystem: 700  package: 755

Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
what the permissions should be?

Thanks a lot

https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … e491f0dbed added a tmpfiles snippet https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … d.tmpfiles
Which changes the permissions in the filesystem.  The package is still shipping the directory 755 though.

Re: [SOLVED] Warning when updating dhcpcd

Should I change the directory permissions for /var/lib/dhcpcd and if the powers that be decide they want to go back to 700 I'll just get another warning and then change it back?

Re: [SOLVED] Warning when updating dhcpcd

systemd-tmpfiles will change it to 700 every time you boot the system, so you'll just get the warning again next time unless the package is fixed.
