Package: postgresql-common Version: 240 Severity: minor Hello,
/var/log/postgresql has the sticky bit set, starting I think with bullseye: # ls -lad /var/log/postgresql/ drwxrwxr-t 2 root postgres 4096 Apr 27 23:11 /var/log/postgresql/ This causes some pain with file-based backups. In particular, `rsync -a --inplace` is affected. Since the dir is sticky, rsync makes the backup dir sticky. But since the files are not owned by root on the backup target, even root will be prevented from overwriting them. A more careful explanation can be found at [1]. Is the sticky bit really necessary here? I've worked around this with dpkg-statoverride, but I don't understand why this dir is +t anyhow.
