Hi,

German R in Nicaragua identified a problem with xs-rsync, where some
files in the OS builds served to XOs are sent with bad permissions.
This fails olpc-update's verification checks, and the systems can't
update.

This was a bug in fakeroot, not processing internal messages
correctly, and recording bad permissions as a result. Fixed in
fakeroot-1.18.4-1.el6.olpc1.i686.rpm, available in the usual repo:
http://dev.laptop.org/xs/repos/stable/olpc/xs-0.7/i386/
