           Summary: installing the package wrongly changes some permissions
           Product: apache2
           Version: 2.0.47-6mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: packaging
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Long ago I had installed Apache 1.3 and I had chown'ed the /var/www/html
directory to a specific group and user. I also had changed the permissions to
that directory (g+ws).

Lately I upgraded to Apache 2.0 (i.e. I installed the Apache 2 package). Upon
installation, the package changed back the owner and group of /var/www/html to
root/root, and it also reset the permissions (g-ws). It did not give any warning
about it.

This is hardly severe but annoying, especially when it produces weird errors
that you fail to diagnose at first, until you notice the permissions have changed.
