Package: llgal
Version: 0.9.10-1
Severity: normal

The program makes use of the Perl filetest operators (such as -r) to
check if files are readable. These operators by default do not
understand access control lists, and only check the standard mode
bits. Hence llgal can complain that some files are not readable, and
skip those files, when in fact they are readable.

A Perl pragma can be set as a workaround:
  http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl/lib/filetest.pm

However, as that document notes, it would probably be much better to
rewrite the code so that the permissions are not checked at
all. Instead it should just attempt to open the files, and then check
for error conditions.
