Logcheck devel - Dec 2004 - Bug#287184: logcheck overwriting ownership/permissions of /etc/logcheck/* on upgrades

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.32
Severity: important

In postinst logcheck "fixes" permissions of /etc/logcheck/* to 750.

In my (and others on #d-d) opinion ownership and permissions should be
preserved upon package upgrades.  Logcheck must not screw with my
decision to make them world readable every time it configures.

The better approach is probably to wrap to fix in a test for upgrades
older than the version where the change of permissions was introduced.
