someone on the fedora list just suggested the following if all you
want is the numeric mode of a file:
$ stat -c %a /etc/passwd
644
$
i'm fairly sure that's safe for the rare occasion when you need that
information. but, as i suggested, given that this only caused a
problem with a single package, it's probably not worth obsessing over
unless that breakage begins to occur more often.
