package: dpkg version: 1.16.9 severity: wishlist Hello,
This morning after booting my computer, I couldn't login into my desktop. In .xsession-errors file appeared: openConnection: connect: No existe el fichero o el directorio cannot connect to brltty at :0 mkdtemp: private socket dir: Permission denied After review the problem, I found the problem, that is that I executed : dpkg-deb -x package.deb /tmp/ So /tmp/ was changed from 1777 to 755. I read in manpage about this change is wanted. But I'm asking you if it is possible to add a warning / error to dpkg-deb output, so you don't broke your system without any clue (If you use dpkg-deb wrongly) I'm attaching a possible patch (I'm not a C programmer, so sorry if there is problem with that) Thank you very much
