Assigning to the Base system maintainers, but CC'ing all packagers collectively, because there's only one registered member of the Base system group

It's not installed setuid root in Mageia, so this is INVALID.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => INVALID

Comment 3 David Walser 2017-02-03 00:12:06 CET
Patch added in Cauldron to benefit anyone who might add the SUID bit themselves.
