Err, ok so this is just the remnants from the previous behaviour for
which I filed a “duped” bug report (562719) and you already fixed.
So, the problem is that the old statoverrides did not get fixed on
installed systems, which makes the installed file to still have the too
restrictive permissions, but fixing those might possibly stomp over user
settings, so I'm not sure what'd be the best way to fix this, if at all...
OTOH I guess it would be pretty “safe” to only fix the permissions if
they match they previous ones, something like this could do it:
if ! dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/sbin/mgnokiidev > /dev/null ||
[ "`dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/sbin/mgnokiidev`" = "root gnokii 4750
/usr/sbin/mgnokiidev"]; then
dpkg-statoverride --update --add root gnokii 4754 /usr/sbin/mgnokiidev
fi
thanks,
guillem
