Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25

Specifically: start-stop-daemon
Error message: start-stop-daemon: Unable to set initgroups() with gid 1003
(Operation not permitted)

I understand the error message, and am happy there is such a check of
course.

OTOH, the user nominated to run the service was the one who ran the script
I think that in the case of --chuid == USER ... the check on the perms
should be bypassed.

In effect, my user can stop a service because he owns it, but can't start it
up again because start-stop-daemon wont let him impersonate himself.

First bug report to debian, i hope i was clear enough.
Thanks!
