Bug Description

I find that the permission on a file is not correct.

Unpacking the tarball http://be.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz to prepare my TFTP server, I found that the permission on the file .../ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux is 600 instead of 644.

This prevents the process to perform a PXE installation.

FYI:
TZ=utc ls -n ./netboot.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 xxx xxx 54820328 avr 25 21:23 ./netboot.tar.gz

sha256sum ./netboot.tar.gz

TZ=utc ls -n ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux
-rw------- 1 xxx xxx 8249080 avr 25 20:10 ./ubuntu-installer/amd64/linux

sha256sum ./linux

Does this also affect xenial? I have checked the netboot tarball for xenial-updates and linux seems to be 644 as expected. Should we mark it as invalid?

File permission is OK now and the PXE process can proceed normally.

Sorry for the long delay before my answer. I didn't know that I should look into the ubuntu-proposed repository.

I don't think this bug is related to Xenial. I just rebuild my TFTP server for PXE installations and all kernel files (linux) are world readable. The netboot.tar.gz for Xenial were last modified on February 28 and I have never encountered such a problem with Xenial.

It should be marked invalid for Xenial.
