Yes, sorry. I didn't see that during my testing. I'm preparing version
0.11.2 for tomorrow and will announce it on suse-security as well.

The bug that causes RPM to install some files with GID fou4s is also
fixed. It's not nice, but I can't imagine any real security breach. GID
fou4s is thought for admins who don't want to work as root and not for
untrusted people. I hope that this was clear to everyone :)

Markus
PS: The version that's going to be released tomorrow is also available at
http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/beta/fou4s-0.11.2-2.noarch.rpm - if you can test
it, especially using import/export and/or --host, try it! Thanks :-)
