What happens to the permissions on a rpm file?
Changing the ownership of a file can cause the set-user-ID (SUID) or set-group-ID (GUID) permission bits to be cleared. Because of this, we need to restore the permissions on the files as well: Now every file that is known by rpm will have the same permissions as when it was initially installed.
