Package: mime-support Version: 3.52-1 Severity: normal When I run `see' on a file, I get `Error: no read permission for file "XXX"', although the file is perfectly readable.
This happens for example when the file in question is located in a directory mounted by sshfs. Permissions reported by stat(2) on such files usually follow the remote server, which does not necessarily make any sense when interpreted locally. But this is exactly what `see' does: it stats the filesystem permissions and and dies when it guesses that the file looks unreadable. This can fail under lots of circumstances: not only sshfs, but also permissions granted by an ACL. I recommended removing the check altogether or at least replacing it by trying to open the file. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.2-kamdesktop (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=cs_CZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash mime-support depends on no packages.
