Bug Description
Stable update justification:
Impact: Due to incorrect permissions on /var/cache/
Development branch: I've fixed this in ubiquity 2.7.11 in oneiric by adding the --config=Mode:0644 option to its debconf-copydb invocation.
Patch: https:/
TEST CASE: See comment 17. Also check the permissions on /var/cache/
Regression potential: This change only affects new installations, not upgrades. Any problems should be exposed quickly as part of milestone release / point release testing. Although no point releases of 10.10 or 11.04 are planned, I'd like to upload this change there anyway to help out people building customised images.
