If you changed anything to have and use this group you are on your own, such a combination is not supported and will probably never. thanks for the answer. It would be ok to check for the user only. And/or, during the upgrade, not to touch the ownership of the directories and files. At least to give a hint in a README or during installation that the ownership has to be changed. Well, this is true for each and every file installed by a Debian package. I don't see why we should mention that in this particular README file. See the documentation of dpkg-statoverride(8) for a tool that might help you achieve what you're trying to do. However, note that you are entirely on your own regarding that kind of setup including maintaining it whenever any of the affected packages change. Anyway, why did you switch from nagios:nagios to icinga:icinga in the first place?
