Quassel core unable to write to database after upgrade to natty

[Scott Kitterman]

Binary package hint: quassel

The FHS fix that moved quasselcore's database and configuration files from /var/cache to /var/lib was incomplete. On upgrade /var/lib/quassel will be owned by root:root and not by quasselcore:quassel. The sqlite database, used by default, creates temp files in this directory. As a result, the permissions problem prevents the database from being updated. This does not affect new installs, only upgrades.

TEST CASE: Install the maverick version of quasselcore and note the permissions of /var/cache/quassel (owned by quasselcore:quassel). Upgrade to the natty version and note the perimssions of /var/lib/quassel (owned by root:root). Then install the package from natty-proposed and note again the permissions of /var/lib/quassel (should now be owned by quasselcore:quassel).
