I have a package that needs files under /var/cache to be setgid. The files are for Crafty to allow it to "learn" chess as it plays. Part of the installation is that I install all that Crafty has learned from all of its user's across the internet. Then as Crafty plays locally, it makes additions to these files under /var/cache.
I have built a Debian package that produces files with the right ownerships and permissions if I use "--extract" on the package, but after installation, the ownership is set root.root and permissions are 644. Is dpkg preventing my scheme? Thanks Paul Serice
