Permissions of executables pointing to "buildd"

[Thomas Karl Pietrowski]

I've noticed this issue already with other applications, which have been updated recently, too.
This morning I've updated the sudo package and it broke, too.

The common issue is that fakeroot gets omitted or faulty in your build environment somehow.

After looking into the current sudo package I've noticed that all files are owned by "buildd:buildd", which doesn't exist on my computer and thus the 2001:2501 on my local machine.

I'll try to collect some other packages, too, which have the same problem.

hi, thanks, the team are already tracking this in bug #1915250 and said they are working on fixing everything

Thank you too for looking into this!
Good luck! :)

Fixed as the faulty package has been removed from the proposed repo.

Hint for others: You can downgrade the package using Synaptic or any other good package manager :)
