This post is just an FYI for others...
The vmware-tools-foundation RPM available at http://packages.vmware.com/tools/esx/latest/rhel6/x86_64/index.html changes stock RHEL6 permissions for /usr/lib.
rpm -qp --queryformat '[%{FILEMODES:perms} %{FILENAMES}\n]' vmware-tools-foundation-8.6.5-4.x86_64.rpm
...
drwxr-xr-x /usr/lib
...
rpm -q --queryformat '[%{FILEMODES:perms} %{FILENAMES}\n]' filesystem
...
dr-xr-xr-x /usr/lib
...
This causes RPM verify to fail for filesystem RPM. No bueno.
I plan to open a case to get this bug resolved.
