Control: tags -1 = unreproducible
I could not reproduce this bug. Here's what I did to try:
I edited /etc/login.defs, setting UMASK to 0027, then rebooted. Even
after reboot, when I run the command `umask', I get 0022. To work
around it, I manually set umask to 0027.
# umask
0022
# umask 0027
# umask
0027
Afterwards, with bash-completion purged/uninstalled, I checked what
were the permissions of the relevant files and directories:
# ls -lha /usr/share/bash-completion/
total 88K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Nov 8 23:34 .
drwxr-xr-x 301 root root 12K Nov 9 08:01 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 68K Nov 8 23:56 completions
Notice that, even with bash-completion purged, the directory for
completions (/usr/share/bash-completion/completions) is present.
That's because other packages install their own completion files, as
can be seen in the following output:
# dpkg --search /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/* | head
adb: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/adb
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/addpart
apt: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/apt
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/blkdiscard
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/blkid
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/blkzone
util-linux: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/blockdev
systemd: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bootctl
btrfs-progs: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/btrfs
devscripts: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts
In order to understand if the *installation of bash-completion* was
setting the wrong permissions, I temporarily moved the whole directory
out of the way:
# mv /usr/share/bash-completion/ /usr/share/bash-completion_BACKUP
# ls -lha /usr/share/bash-completion/
ls: cannot access '/usr/share/bash-completion/': No such file or directory
Finally, I installed bash-completion and checked the permissions:
# aptitude install bash-completion

Permissions look correct to me. Maybe the reason why I couldn't
reproduce this bug is related to way I modified /etc/login.defs. So,
if you have more information about it, please let me know.
I'm marking this bug as unreproducible and I'll wait some time before
closing it. Please feel free to reopen it afterwards.
Philippe,
Are you still seeing this problem?
Do you have any advice about the umask comments I mentioned above?
Thank you.
