regular users can't run tuptime (regression, autopkgtest failure)

[Dan Bungert]

Due to permissions on /var/lib/tuptime as created by recent adduser, users which need the world permission bits to read that directory will be unable to run tuptime.

The error takes the form of:
ERROR:Checking DB file "/var/lib/tuptime/tuptime.db": unable to open database file

[Dan Bungert (dbungert)]

tuptime creates the directory for its default db location using adduser. The adduser changes to DIR_MODE=0750 result in the directory not having world readable mode, and then normal users are unable to read the db inside.

Attached patch does a chmod 755.

Hi, this seems fine and I'll upload it presently. Can you also send it upstream to https://github.com/rfrail3/tuptime/pulls? (I also wonder if the code would match the intent ever-so-slightly closer if you wrote "chmod o+rx" rather than "chmod 0755" but that's super nit picky)

This bug was fixed in the package tuptime - 5.0.2ubuntu1

---------------
tuptime (5.0.2ubuntu1) hirsute; urgency=medium

  * Update permissions on the default directory of the database so that the
    adduser-created directory is ensured to be world readable. (LP: #1918848)
