I can also confirm this fix using the hardy daily desktop image from 20090112.1; I had a previous installation that I chowned /, /*, and /usr/* to different users, and then did a non-formatting manual installation to that image. All were corrected (include the ownership of /home, which I wasn't sure would be corrected) except for /lost+found, which retained its non-uid 0 ownership.
I also tested with different ownerships, where only the user or group had been modified, and these were addressed as well. I think the fix is probably an improvement over the former situation, but what do others think about the /lost+found issue? (Granted, /lost+found's ownership is unlikely to get changed). -- lack of installer permission validation on existing partition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/224446 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
