Package: apt Version: 0.5.4 Severity: normal When "apt-get update" puts new versions of existing files in /var/lib/apt/lists it will reset their mode to 0666 - umask. It should use the mode that the old versions had instead.
My specific problem is that my root has a umask of 007 -- list files end up being readable by root only, which messes up "apt-get source" for users. With the above change that could be solved once and for all. Versions of the packages apt depends on: ii libc6 2.2.5-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libstdc++2.10- 2.95.4-7 The GNU stdc++ library -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
