What's wrong with DEB_FIXPERMS_EXCLUDE := /usr/lib/mc/cons.saver in debian/rules? That should exclude just this file from getting its permission fixed, see dh_fixperms(1). > As I mentioned in the previous email, the file only gets packaged if > arch is Linux via mc.install.linux, so do you think it's a good idea to > chgrp || true in such a case unconditionally? No, because this does not give the admin the chance to override the permissions by using dpkg-statoverride himself. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
