Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6
Severity: normal
Hi,
It seems that when you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file might be replaced by a newer version. When
this happens, the mode of the file is reset to 600, ie:
bee# ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3027 Aug 1 17:13 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
bee# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
bee# ls -l /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
-rw------- 1 root root 2975 Aug 1 17:16 /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
bee# umask
022
Is this normal behavior? I think it would be best to preserve the
original mode of the file, or document the behavior, but I could not
find anything on the topic in the
/usr/share/doc/{xserver-xfree86,xfree86-common}/ directories.
Regards,
