--- Begin Message ---Package: debian-policy Version: 4.1.4 Severity: normal Last paragraph of 9.1.2 reads: """ If /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local does not exist, /usr/local and all subdirectories created by packages should have permissions 0755 and be owned by root:root. If /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local exists, /usr/local and subdirectories should have permissions 2775 (group-writable and set-group-id) and be owned by root:staff. """ In the middle of 9.1.2, there is the following example of how to do directory creation in /usr/local: """ if [ ! -e /usr/local/share/emacs ]; then if mkdir /usr/local/share/emacs 2>/dev/null; then if chown root:staff /usr/local/share/emacs; then chmod 2775 /usr/local/share/emacs || true fi fi fi """ The example is way too simple to comply with policy. A more compliant example would be: """ if [ ! -e /usr/local/share/emacs ]; then if mkdir /usr/local/share/emacs 2>/dev/null; then if test -e /etc/staff-group-for-usr-local ; then if chown root:staff /usr/local/share/emacs; then chmod 2775 /usr/local/share/emacs || true fi elif chown root:staff /usr/local/share/emacs; then chmod 2775 /usr/local/share/emacs || true fi fi fi """ Thanks, ~Niels

Thanks to several people for noticing these. Thanks to Jeremy Bicha for a patch. * Soften wording in upgrading checklist for removal of get-orig-source target. Thanks Helmut Grohne for the new wording. * Fix sample postinst in 9.1.2 to comply with new required permissions for /usr/local (Closes: #895136). Thanks to Niels Thykier for noticing the problem, and for the new sample script. - Reorder 9.1.2 so that details of the permissions requirement appear before the sample postinst. This ensures that the complexity of the sample postinst makes sense to the reader.
