=============
a script that fixes linux files permission based on package (.rpm or .deb) data
After a slight D'oh on changing permissions on the wrong directory, I found the fixperms.sh out on the internet which helped a bit. I figured I won't be the last person to make a mistake with chown -r (or with chmod). I figure this would be the best place to put this script in the public and allow for contributions.
This should mimic Mac OS X's 'Fix Permissions' in Disk Utility.
