Bug#60573: general: wrong perms on /dev/null and /tmp in potato upgrade

Subject: general:
Package: general
Version: 2315
Severity: grave

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/null
crw-r--r--1 root root   1,   3 Feb 22  1999 /dev/null

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld /tmp
drwxr-xr-t3 root root 1024 Mar 14 18:40 /tmp

/dev/null was 644 not 666, which is what it is everywhere but my two
problem machines.

/tmp was 1755, not 1777 as it needs to be.

This machine was installed off a Cheap*Bytes 2.1 cd without these probs. Today I
used apt-get -u dist-upgrade to move to potato, then noticed the problems.

The other machine with the /dev/null problem was also slink updated to potato.

  Can we please close the list from non-member submissions? 
 
 NO!
 
 I, like many users of Debian, post from different mail addresses.
 Lists which are closed that way are really painful.

Register each of those addresses and either set them to not receive mail
or filter it to /dev/null and file a bug against the lists if they don't
have that ability.

That's what I make everyone do for the lists I admin. As an admin I have
to clean up some of the things that get caught, but one would hope -devel
at least would have savvy members :).
   
Personally I use roles to help keep things straight. That can be difficult
if you don't operate off your own box.

ciao,
