Package: reportbug
Version: 4.5
Severity: wishlist

I don't know if this is a really bug or a wishlist

When I use reportbug it start debsums to check the package integrity.
But I use reportbug as a normal user and dubsums try to access file/directory that my normal user don't have read/execute permission.
So this cause the display of a list of errors

I think that reportbug must not be run as root, but it can run debusums as root (prompting user for root password, if he know it) if there is some permission error.

For example I have some of these errors with
$ debsums dokuwiki

Ciao
