Package: r-base-core Version: 3.5.2-1 Severity: normal Hi Dirk,
The /usr/local/lib/R directory (and its site-library subdir), as created by the postinst script of r-base-core, is always owned by group staff, with permissions 2775. This is a violation of Debian Policy §9.1.2. Those specific ownership and permissions should only be set when the file /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local is present. When it is not, the directory should be owned by root:root and have permissions 0755. Note that, since buster, new installations do not have /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local by default, which makes this bug biting more often.
