Package: dpkg Version: 1.14.16.1 Severity: normal Hello,
The packages "polipo" (in /usr/lib/polipo/polipo-control) and "ipw3945d"
(in /etc/init.d/ipw3945d) are among those packages that say
start-stop-daemon --chuid myuser:mygroup
where "myuser" is a system user and "mygroup" is its primary group.
This invocation seems to no longer work with the new version of dpkg,
even though it works simply to omit ":mygroup" from the invocation. (By
"works" I mean that start-stop-daemon succeeds, but the resulting daemon
process stays in the root group.)
start-stop-daemon: Unable to set initgroups() with gid 13 (Operation not
permitted)
Thanks,
Ken

One thing that UNIX does not need is more features. It is successful in part
because it has a small number of good ideas that work well together. Merely
adding features does not make it easier for users to do things -- it just
makes the manual thicker. -- Rob Pike, Brian W. Kernighan, 1983.
