Reinstall openstack-dashboard will cause /usr/share/openstack folder lost its default ownership

[JohnsonYi]

In fuel 6.0 environment, while I tried to reinstall package "openstack-dashboard_2014.2-fuel6.0~mira13_all.deb" with command apt-get --reinstall install openstack-dashboard, the ownership for folder /usr/share/openstack-dashboard changed to root:root instead of default horizon:horizon.

I added two lines to postinst script to fix it, so that I can rebuild the package and install it.

# Automatically added by dh_python2:
if which pycompile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        pycompile -p openstack-dashboard /usr/share/openstack-dashboard
fi

# Change owner for /usr/share/openstack-dashboard
chown -R horizon:horizon /usr/share/openstack-dashboard

# End automatically added section

Could you please clarify if this really breaks anything? Or it's just about getting permissions "correct".

Roman, sorry for reply a bit late, I will have a test first

MOS Packaging, please take a look at this.

Build scripts for Horizon were taken originally from Ubuntu Utopic release which is not available anymore (with our minor changes [2]) and are compatible with Puppet manifests and should not break anything.

I've installed package from 6.1 [3] just to check that this a default behavior:

So if you're still facing any issues, please just let us know.

I had tested on my local ha environment, horizon was not affected while ownership changed. This bug should be invalid.
