We want it to be 755, so if they end up being 775, that's a bug. It should be harmless because /bin is owned by root, and by default only root is in the group root. For the record, I've just used netinst iso for 8.4.0 and KVM to install a new system, and yes, I can reproduce this. You don't have to install anything at all, just the base system. > I never changed any permissions manually, so I believe, this settings are now > for a loooooooong time. I've just checked and all my systems have 775! This is certainly surprising. Most probably this is a bug in either: * Some package in the base system (would be detected by lintian). * debootstrap * debian-installer Help to debug this would be appreciated. Maybe we can fix it for Debian 8.6. Thanks.
