Hello!

Jeffrey Serio <serio.jeffrey <at> gmail.com> skribis:

> The build failed with the error message "Suspicious ownership or
> permission on /gnu/store/...-harfbuzz-1.0.6-bin".

I’m happy to report that this is finally fixed!

Commit d72267863382041b84a9712eea354882be72ef55.

The root problem was that libguile’s ‘mkdir’ was playing dirty tricks
with umask(2), as explained at <http://bugs.gnu.org/24659>.  Our
multithreaded grafting code triggered the issue described in that bug.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
