Thank you for reporting this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I can see that running check_perms myself does warn of problems on a freshly installed system.
Is there a specific problem that you're facing here, or is it just that /usr/lib/mailman/bin/check_perms doesn't like the default packaged permissions? Is there any Debian or Ubuntu specific documentation that tells you to run this command, or could it just be that the upstream-supplied program is not aware of Debian/Ubuntu packaging specifics with respect to permissions? Is the bug here just that the packaging shouldn't supply the check_perms command as it makes no sense to run it on a mailman system provided by packaging? Or, otherwise, can you please provide a test case for actual functionality that appears broken as a result of supposedly broken permissions? ** Changed in: mailman (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1266288 Title: cannot install permissions correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+bug/1266288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
