Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-3198:
---------------------------------------------
bq. The comparison to 0.6.4-2 can be safely removed now
Hum, the goal of this ticket is that anyone that have started using the deb
package after 0.6.4-2 have /var/{lib,log}/cassandra owned by root.root, which
was not intended. So we can decide that we want to leave all those people with
those "wrong" permissions, but it's not safer to remove the comparison now that
it was when the patch was initially committed.

> when installing cassandra through the debian packaging for the first time,
> there is permission problem when starting Cassandra.
> Normally, the postinst script change owner of /var/log/cassandra and
> /var/lib/cassandra from root to cassandra user.
> there is a problem with the test which verify if threre is a need to change
> the owner of these directory or not.
> On a new install, the $2 parameter is not set and the the test is false and
> the owner is not changed.
> (simply, i think replace "&&" with "||" might work)
