I can see this permissions situation for a fresh new installation of bugzilla3: $ find /usr/share/bugzilla3/ -type d -ls | awk '{ print $3" "$11 }' drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/ drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/debian drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/debian/pre-checksetup.d drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/debian/post-checksetup.d drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/lib drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/contrib drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/contrib drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/contrib/Dusk drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/standard drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/standard/global drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/standard/dependency-tree drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/standard/yui drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/skins/standard/index drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/js drwxr-xr-x /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/js/yui so lib has 755 and it's root:root... did you customize it? Anyhow, this is what's happening on my machine: $ reportbug --debug bugzilla3 *** Welcome to reportbug.
