Description Adam Sampson 2007-06-01 02:24:03 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When installing Seahorse on my machine, the Makefile in the "agent" subdirectory attempts to set the suid bit on seahorse-daemon -- which fails because it hasn't been installed yet.

Steps to reproduce:
Install Seahorse to an empty prefix, configured such that AGENT is defined and HAVE_USER_MLOCK isn't.

Actual results:
The installation fails when it tries to chmod seahorse-daemon.

Expected results:
The installation should succeed.

Does this happen every time?
Yup.

Other information:
The trivial fix is to reorder the SUBDIRS in the top-level Makefile.am so that agent is done after daemon -- but I think it should probably be daemon's Makefile.am that contains the chmod rule rather than agent's, to avoid the problem entirely.
