[Sugar-devel] [PATCH olpc-netutils] Change mode of "logtemp" files to be able to remove them OLPC #11851

[Manuel Kaufmann]

This is a workaround to be able to remove the files copied by
"olpc-log" to a temporal directory.

The problem is that "olpc-log" is coping files from /proc and those
files are being copied preserving "mode" attributes and they are
read-only, so "olpc-log" fails when it tries to remove them.

The correct way to do this would be using "cp --no-preserve=mode" to
copy those files but it is buggy and doesn't work as the documentation
says.
