Bug Description

Binary package hint: libqt3-mt

I recently upgraded from 8.10 (hardy) to 9.04 (jaunty).

Several applications, e.g. bibletime, complain at startup that the file /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc is unreadable:

$ bibletime
(BibleTime 1.6.5.1) WARNING: QSettings: failed to open file '/etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc'

The file exists, but is not readable except for user/group root:

$ ls -l /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc
-rw-r----- 1 root root 642 2009-03-16 17:35 /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc

It seems to belong to libqt3-mt:
$ dpkg -S /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc
libqt3-mt: /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc

I have the same problem: I upgraded from 8.10 to 9.04 and the file /etc/qt3/qt_plugins_3.3rc has no read permission for others.
I fixed it by adding read permission to others, too.
