[Alpine Linux] Throttled daemon lacks executable permission out of the box

[spacebanana420]

I am running Alpine Linux on Edge branch with testing repository enabled.

When attempting to run rc-update add throttled as root, the error shows up:

 * rc-update: service `throttled' is not executable

When attempting to manually start throttled with rc-service throttled start as root, the error shows up:

 * rc-service: Permission denied

Throttled is indeed installed in /usr/lib/throttled/throttled.py and marked as executable and can be run as root. I guess as a temporary workaround I can run it directly.

Update: the daemon can be successfully started/enabled once I mark it as executable too. OpenRC daemons normally have executable permissions, but for some reason throttled doesn't.

This fixes it:

chmod +x /etc/init.d/throttled

I can now start/enable the service with rc-update and rc-service

I moved this issue to the Alpine package issues so I will close this one.
