The one that makes some files or directories inside a .deb to be owned by whoever builds the package (usually gid 1000), not by root. To reproduce this under Linux you need to mount a partition using the `bsdgroups' option AND use sudo or root (not fakeroot) to build the package. Since nobody does this, and no autobuilder does it either, we never noticed about it. A simple "chown -R root.root debian/tmp" in debian/rules should fix this, (unless there are other files or directories in the package which should not be owned by root). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
