Description cwf-ml 2009-10-15 10:40:00 UTC 
according to its manpage wipe can deal with mssing w permissions if it has to - wipe -f should fortce file deletions.  In reality, it just throws the same error message:  wipe: cannot open `testfile2': Permission denied

How-To-Repeat: wefa@nxcon 11:27 [~/test]chmod ugo=rx testfile2
wefa@nxcon 11:27 [~/test]wipe testfile1
wefa@nxcon 11:27 [~/test]wipe testfile2
wipe: cannot open `testfile2': Permission denied
wefa@nxcon 11:27 [~/test]wipe -f testfile2
wipe: cannot open `testfile2': Permission denied
wefa@nxcon 11:27 [~/test]ls -al

This patch, for the port's files directory:

http://students.washington.edu/rfarmer/patch-prompt.c

should: 1) fix this issue by making wipe -f chmod files to gain write access
2) fix the core dump in PR 139611
