@mike: The default permissions on my computers for /var/lib/dpkg were drwxr-xr-x and for /var/lib/dpkg/status it's -rw-r--r--. Can you still reproduce this problem? If not, we will close this bug because of the lack of the information required to reproduce. --- Ubuntu Bug Squad volunteer triager http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad
