[SOLVED] My paclog shows a warning regarding polkit-1 permissions, udev related?

Hi all.

So it's been a while since I've seen a warning when invoking paclog after upgrading, but today after upgrading/rebooting and reviewing them, I came across this:

Code: [Select]
[2024-01-18T11:48:18-0800] [ALPM] upgraded libudev (255.2-1 -> 255.2-2)
[2024-01-18T11:48:18-0800] [ALPM] upgraded udev (255.2-1 -> 255.2-2)
[2024-01-18T11:48:18-0800] [ALPM] warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
filesystem: 750  package: 755

I include the udev upgrades simply because I can only suspect, with my extremely limited knowledge on the subject, that it might somehow be related to my issue?

Anyways, my system is working as expected, but I haven't tested EVERYTHING. Is this something I can/should ignore? Any advice on this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I encountered this error last November:
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,6108
You see there I made these changes:
Code: [Select]
# chmod 750 /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
# chmod 750 /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
# chown root:polkitd /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/

Don't know if that's the proper solution, but it got rid of the warning messages. I seem to remember that when I compared it to an older Artix OS install those directories were like that already.

Hmm. I just checked those related files to see, and each one seems to have those permissions and ownerships on them...I'm a bit at a loss.

Thanks for the insights, I'm gonna keep this bookmarked for now in case it becomes an issue or I keep seeing this warning. I'll keep this issue open just for a few more days before marking it solved in case anyone else has some thoughts.

EDIT: Marking this as resolved as the problem has no occurred since.
