Package: man-db
Version: 2.7.0.2-4
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
This is how man-db postinst changes user/group identity:
perl -e '@pwd = getpwnam("man"); $( = $) = $pwd[3]; $< = $> = $pwd[2];
exec "/usr/bin/mandb", @ARGV' -- "$@" || true
This works well on Linux, but at least on kfreebsd-i386, this code
changes only the effective uid/gid, leaving the real uid/gid untouched:
# perl -E '$< = $> = 6; say "$< $>";'
0 6
You should either change the real uid/gid first, or change them both at
the same time:
# perl -E '$> = $< = 6; say "$< $>";'
6 6
# perl -E '($<, $>) = (6, 6); say "$< $>";'
6 6
