Package: autopkgtest Version: 5.4.2 Severity: normal When running with needs-root, $AUTOPKGTEST_TMP will be owned by root and have permissions 0755. This means, that only root will be able to use it. But as a temporary directory it should be possible for any user to use it. Thus, please adjust permissions to 0777. Maybe also consider setting the sticky bit (1777) like it is done with /tmp.
Thanks! cheers, josch
