Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.26 Severity: important When I try to apply custom permission settings using dpkg-statoverride in Sarge or SID (version 1.10.27), the settings aren't honored. It works fine in Debian Woody ( version 1.9.21).
Steps to reproduce problem: 1. dpkg-statoverride --add root root 0755 /usr/bin/sudo 2. apt-get install sudo 3. "ls -l /usr/bin/sudo" returns: -rwsr-xr-x 2 root root 97528 Dec 5 01:31 /usr/bin/sudo I would expect to see that the setuid bit is not set like this: -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 97528 Dec 5 01:31 /usr/bin/sudo I realize this example would render sudo useless, but it is just used to illustrate the problem. Following these exact same steps in Woody will create the desired results. I also verified that the entry was being added to /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride. "grep sudo /var/lib/dpkg/statoverride" returns: root root 0755 /usr/bin/sudo -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux 2.4.29 Versions of packages the dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.26 a user tool to manage Debian packages ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-20 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data Please let me know if I can provide any further details to help resolve this issue.
